Full Description

Covering a wide range of the poetry, John Williams discusses the critical issues that have dominated discussions of Wordsworth's work, from the end of the 18th century up to 2002. The chapters trace the evolution of the poet's compositions and his changing reputation during his lifetime, from a ridiculed poet to a revered elder statesman of letters. The 20th century's critical response to Wordsworth's poetry is closely examined, and there is also an assessment of how the 21st-century reader can engage with his work.
