WILLIAM WORDSWORTH: THE CRITICAL HERITAGE Volume I 1793–1820 THE CRITICAL HERITAGE SERIES GENERAL EDITOR: B C SOU THAM, M.A., B.LITT (OXON) Formerly Department of English, Westfield College, University of London The Critical Heritage series collects together a large body of criticism on major figures in literature Each volume presents the contemporary responses to a particular writer, enabling the student to follow the formation of critical attitudes to the writer’s work and its place within a literary tradition The carefully selected sources range from landmark essays in the history of criticism to fragments of contemporary opinion and little published documentary material, such as letters and diaries Significant pieces of criticism from later periods are also included in order to demonstrate fluctuations in reputation following the writer’s death For a list of volumes in the series, see the end of the book WILLIAM WORDSWORTH THE CRIT IC AL HERITAGE Volume I 1793–1820

considerable value to the student of literature On the one side we learn a great deal about the state of criticism at large and in particular about the development of critical attitudes towards a single writer; at the same time, through private comments in letters, journals or marginalia, we gain an insight upon the tastes and literary thought of individual readers of the period Evidence of this kind helps us to understand the writer’s historical situation, the nature of his immediate reading public, and his response to these pressures The separate volumes in the Critical Heritage series present a record of this early criticism In each volume the documents are headed by an Introduction, discussing the material assembled and relating the early stages of the author’s reception to what we have come to identify as the critical tradition The volumes make available much material that would otherwise be difficult of access and present-day readers will be in a position to arrive at an informed understanding of the ways in which literature has been read and judged Dr Woof ’s first Wordsworth volume, running from the earliest reviews of 1793 to The River Duddon volume of 1820, treats a vast body of criticism, including journal reviews, satires, parodies and imitations, together with fugitive comments in private letters and journals, some of which material has not been seen in print before The strict chronological arrangement of the material, together with Dr Woof ’s illuminating Introduction and the extensive headnotes, provide us with an invaluable perspective on Wordsworth’s towering presence amongst his contemporaries and enable us to follow the stages of his poetic growth and change over the years BCS Contents Acknowledgements Abbreviations and Note on
