From his work editing "Wordsworth's Juvenile Poetry (1785-1790),"
Duncan Wu came to understand that much of the content of the poet's
later great work drew on early childhood experiences, particularly
delayed mourning arising from his parents' deaths. This original
study is the first fully to investigate the impact of this
formative experience on Wordsworth's poetry and to integrate it
into a critical account of how his art developed from 1787 to 1813.
In doing so it seeks to explain the importance of Wordsworth's
great epic, "The Recluse," to his work as a whole, and looks at how
some of it got written and why it was left unfinished at his
death.
The book includes 20 illustrations from original notebooks
retained by the Wordsworth Trust in Grasmere, and, among its
numerous discoveries, presents the first annotated reading text of
The "White Doe of Rylstone" (1808) with its important
'Advertizement'. Written in an accessible manner, this revealing
study will be of great interest to students and researchers of
Wordsworth's poetry.
