About this Item

Print on Demand. This book collects over 3200 pieces from the Cornell Wordsworth Collection, one of the world's most extensive gatherings of scholarship on the Romantic writer. Begun in 1925 by Mrs. Victor Emanuel, the collection grew for forty years with the help of the author's son, Professor L. N. Broughton. Since 1965, Cornell Wordsworth scholars have further built upon their predecessor's work. As a result, this volume includes everything of substance that has been written about Wordsworth, offering a record of how the author has been read and interpreted over almost two centuries. Wordsworth's own writings make up Part I of this collection. Part II covers editions published since the author's death. Parts III through VIII survey early periodicals, anthologies, and books that further illuminate Wordsworth's life and writings. Finally, Part IX allows readers to explore the Cornell Wordsworth Collection's wealth of manuscripts. The collection is an invaluable resource for scholars interested in Wordsworth's work and in the history of literary study. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
