C. SOUTHAM, M. A. , B. LITT. (OXON) Formerly Department of English, Westfield College,  \nUniversity of London  \nThe Critical Heritage series collects together a large body of criticism on major figures in literature. Each volume presents the contemporary responses to a particular writer, enabling the student to follow the formation of critical attitudes to the writer’s work and its place within a literary  \ntradition.  \nThe carefully selected sources range from landmark essays in the history of criticism to fragments of contemporary opinion and little published documentary material, such as letters and diaries.  \nSignificant pieces of criticism from later periods are also included in order to demonstrate fluctuations in reputation following the writer’s  \ndeath.  \nFor a list of volumes in the series, see the end of the book.  \nWILLIAM WORDSWORTH  \nTHE CRITICAL HERITAGE Volume I 1793–1820  \nEdited by  \nROBERT WOOF  \nLondon and New York  \nFirstpublished 2001  \nby Routledge  \n11 New Fetter Lane, London EC4P 4EE Simultaneously published in the USA and Canada by Routledge  \n29 West 35th Street, New York, NY 10001 Routledge is an imprint of the Taylor & Francis Group This edition published in the Taylor & Francis e-Library, 2004.  \nCompilation, introduction, notes © 2001 Robert Woof  \nAll rights reserved.

On the one side we learn a great deal about the state of criticism at large and in particular about the development of critical attitudes towards a single writer; at the same time, through private comments in letters, journals or marginalia, we gain an insight upon the tastes and literary thought of individual readers of the period. Evidence of this kind helps us to understand the writer’s historical situation, the nature of his immediate reading public, and his response to these pressures.  \nThe separate volumes in the Critical Heritage series present a record of this early criticism. In each volume the documents are headed by an Introduction, discussing the material assembled and relating the early stages ofthe author’s reception to what we have come to identify as the critical tradition. The volumes make available much material that would otherwise be difficult of access and present-day readers will be in a position to arrive at an informed understanding of the ways in which literature has been read and judged.  \nDr Woof’s first Wordsworth volume, running from the earliest reviews of 1793 to The River Duddon volume of 1820, treats a vast body of criticism, including journal reviews, satires, parodies and imitations, together with fugitive comments in private letters and journals, some of which material has not been seen in print before.  \nThe strict chronological arrangement of the material, together with Dr Woof’s illuminating Introduction and the extensive headnotes, provide us with an invaluable pe","cbCais1RxJl8lIfp","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCais1RxJl8lIfp","pdf",3744513,1113,"English","# Contents\n## Introduction with Select Bibliography\n## I Early Notices and Opinions, 1793–1801\n## II Lyrical Ballads: Opinions, November 1798–July 1800","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of The Critical Heritage series for students of literature?\",\"answer\":\"It collects criticism on major literary figures and presents contemporary responses to help students trace how critical attitudes formed and how the writer fits within a literary tradition.\"},{\"question\":\"What kinds of sources are included in William Wordsworth: The Critical Heritage?\",\"answer\":\"The volume draws on landmark essays, fragments of contemporary opinion, and little published documentary material such as letters and diaries, along with later pieces to show changes in reputation after the writer’s death.\"},{\"question\":\"How is the material organized in Volume I (1793–1820)?\",\"answer\":\"The documents are arranged in strict chronological order, supported by an illuminating introduction and extensive headnotes that track stages of Wordsworth’s reception and poetic growth.\"}]","WILLIAM WORDSWORTH - The Critical Heritage - Volume 1 - General editor’s preface and early notices 1793-1801 | PDF",1789949821,1714]
