Synopsis

Each of the 21 volumes of "The Cornell Wordsworth", one of the great scholarly editions of our time, is complete in itself, but few volumes supplied tools useful to anyone studying two or more volumes. In this supplementary volume the reader will find a unified index to titles and first lines for the entire series, a guide to the hundreds of manuscripts treated in the twenty-one volumes, and a comprehensive list of the contents of Wordsworth's many lifetime editions. The chance to provide such tools in a volume supplementary to the series made it possible as well to include information that had been omitted from previous volumes and a list of errata for several volumes in the series.

About the Author
Jared Curtis, Professor Emeritus of English at Simon Fraser University, is the editor or co-editor of three volumes in the Cornell Wordsworth and Coordinating Editor of the Cornell Yeats.

Review

"Jared Curtis's The Cornell Wordsworth: a Supplement bears a modest title, but do not be misled. This volume, whether in printed or ebook format, is indispensable for the serious Wordsworth scholar. ... Indeed, it is difficult to imagine working on Wordsworth now without such a resource at hand. The Cornell edition comprises twenty-one volumes of formidable textual complexity. This guide and index to the edition, which includes corrections and additions, is an immense service to scholarship, and Jared Curtis and Humanities-Ebooks should be commended for producing it." -- by Anthony Harding, Professor Emeritus, University of Saskatchewan, in Romanticism
