This statement, I think, is at the heart of Wolfson’s own book. She too uses words to plumb depths beyond words. Wordsworth, Shelley, Byron, Hazlitt, Keats, and with him Yeats, appear to us afresh as the authors of works inflected by a surplus of apparitional influences, hauntings and re-visions. This is a book in which Wolfson returns to texts and poets that are both the back catalogue and the present focus of her critical practice, demonstrating the haunting and enduring power of those words which matter to us most. Romantic Shades and Shadows is testimony to that recognition.

Heather Tilley，失明与写作：从华兹华斯到吉辛

我认为，这句话是沃尔夫森自己书的核心。她也用语言来探寻无法用语言表达的深度。华兹华斯、雪莱、拜伦、黑兹利特、济慈，以及与他一起的叶芝，在我们​​面前重新出现，他们的作品受到过多的幻影影响、困扰和重新想象的影响。在这本书中，沃尔夫森回到了既是她的批判实践的过往目录又是当前焦点的文本和诗人，展示了那些对我们来说最重要的词的令人难以忘怀和持久的力量。Romantic Shades and Shadows 就是这种认可的证明。
