Page "Panoramic painting" Paragraph 24

Conversely, some critics argue Wordsworth was not opposed to the panorama, but was rather hesitant about it.

A main argument is that other episodes in The Prelude have just as much sensory depth as panoramas had.

Such depth could only be accomplished through imitation of the human senses, something both the panorama and The Prelude succeed at.

Therefore, since both the panorama and The Prelude imitate the senses, they are equal and suggest Wordsworth was not entirely opposed to panoramas.
