Abstract

This essay aims to sound out the otopoetics - the reception of an other's signature and acts of countersigning - by listening into certain acts of calling and signing in the poetry of Wordsworth, Coleridge and Keats. The notion of invisible communication, of reading at a distance in a fashion that disorders space and time, can be understood not only in thematic terms, but also as structurally necessary in these texts.
