Double-weighted statement
The result of forty years of engagement with Wordsworth’s poetry, as editor, (his edition of The Salisbury Plain Poems inaugurated the Cornell Wordworth Series in 1975), biographer (William Wordsworth: A Life, 1989) and cultural historian (Wordsworth and the Victorians, 1998). It is the only critical work that draws on in-depth textual knowledge to examine the way in which Wordsworth habitually created new work by revisiting old. It has been described as ‘indispensable’ (MLR), ‘wonderfully assured and accomplished’ (Wordsworth Circle), ‘important work’ (TLS), ‘a substantial achievement and a notable contribution to the understanding of the growth of the poet’s mind’ (SEL).
