Includes the Preface, Appendix, and "Essay Supplementary to the Preface" in which WW attempts to lay out a "defense of the theory upon which the poems were written". [2] WW anticipated the production of poetry excited by his recommendations "well adapted to interest mankind permanently". [32]
Coleridge adored WW {and his sister}, but found his poetic philosophy "inept". Byron found him "dull". Keats was discomfited by the ever-recurrent self-immolating "I" of Wordsworth's sonorous ego. Shelley added to the parodies widely bandied about. Yet all made the compliment of imitation, and we acknowledge as did Shelley in "Peter Bell", that WW awakened "a sort of thought in sense" that was new and modern in his time.
This collection includes the famous "Tintern Abbey" -- which allegedly presents a "philosophy" of Nature-loving, but in my opinion should be noted for its exposure of WW's profound debt and sexual attraction to his sister, with whom he spent the 4 days hiking in the "wilderness" ruins. [96] ( )
