Opis

Comprehensive reading of 'late' Wordsworth, considering his work in dialogue with the poetic, cultural and political battles of his day.

Recenzje

'… offers a necessary and long-overdue corrective to the received version of Wordsworth's body of work, an implicit remise of which has often been that little of the original poetry written and published by him after 1808 deserves critical attention.' Michael J. Neth, The European Legacy
