Wordsworth's Reading 1800-1815 lists all of the authors and books known to have
been read by William Wordsworth during the years that saw the composition of
much of his greatest poetry. It incorporates hitherto unpublished research into
the poet's intellectual development and a thorough survey of manuscript
materials. Together with Duncan Wu's companion-volume, Wordsworth's Reading
1770-1799, this is the most complete study of Wordsworth's reading to date, and
will be an essential reference tool for all scholars and students of
Wordsworth's work.
