| Book Description | The Oxford Handbook of William Wordsworth deploys its forty-seven original essays to present a stimulating account of Wordsworth's life and achievement and to map new directions in criticism. In addition to twenty-two essays wholly on Wordsworth's poetry, other essays return to the poetry while exploring other dimensions of the life and work of the major Romantic poet. The result is a dialogic exploration of many major texts and problems in Wordsworth scholarship. This uniquely comprehensive handbook is structured so as to present, in turn, Wordsworth's life, career, and networks; aspects of the major lyrical and narrative poetry; components of 'The Recluse'; his poetical inheritance and his transformation of poetics; the variety of intellectual influences upon his work, from classical republican thought to modern science; his shaping of modern culture in such fields as gender, landscape, psychology, ethics, politics, religion, and ecology; and his 19th- and 20th-century reception-most importantly by poets, but also in modern criticism and scholarship. |
| Editorial Review | A long and overwhelmingly wondrous experience that touched me as very few works of secondary literature ever have. * Leslie Brisman, Review 19 * provides rich explorations of Wordsworth's oeuvre, together with well-informed discussions of his inheritance, legacy, and reception. * Pamela Clemit, The Times Literary Supplement * The Oxford Handbook of William Wordsworth is an excellent resource for specialists and those writing about the poet, including advanced graduate students. * Lisa Ann Robertson (University of South Dakota), European Romantic Review * |
