Significant pieces of criticism from later periods are also included in order to demonstrate fluctuations in reputation following the writer's death.
This new volume in the series includes criticism on the work of William Wordsworth during the period 1793-1820. Extremely wide-ranging in its coverage, over 250 diary extracts, letters, reviews, comments, and opinions by and about Wordsworth are gathered together here for the first time.
