1.According to Theresa Kelley, in The Prelude Wordsworth’s speaker “hides” his sources so that he may appear “original” in his genius, “yet this sleight-of-hand is only a disguise, and a half-hearted one at that, for an inventional strategy that multiplies its effects as [it] proceeds” (130).

2.As Wordsworth will do in The Prelude, Smith writes a speaker in Beachy Head whose concern is to establish her, for want of a neutral pronoun, credentials as Poet. Where Wordsworth will use elements of composition to critique this figure, Smith uses, as she does to such effect in Elegiac Sonnets, structure: thus one part of the poem subtly evaluates another via differing understandings of the place and value of history.
