This volume prints more than 150 letters, most of them previously
unpublished, which appeared too late for inclusion in the second
edition of The Letters of William and Dorothy Wordsworth (1967-88):
they are indispensable for understanding the poet and the inner
dynamics of the Wordsworth circle. Of outstanding interest are the
unexpectedly tender and fervent letters which Wordsworth wrote to
his wife Mary during brief periods of separation in 1810 and 1812:
others provide fresh evidence about his contacts with Annette
Vallon and his `French' daughter Caroline long after his withdrawal
from revolutionary politics in France, and indeed up to the end of
his life. Further letters illustrate the poet's literary and
personal relations with Coleridge, Hazlitt, De Quincey, and Charles
Lamb; his changing political and social views; his life in the Lake
District and London; and, above all, his lifelong commitment to
poetry and the principles that guided his imaginative life. These
letters, varied in tone and subject-matter, will do much to dispel
the ideal that he was invariably a reluctant or reserved
correspondent. Dorothy Wordsworth, by contrast, fills out all the
details of domestic life which her brother thought it unnecessary
to dwell on, and her letters add their own characteristic touches
to the picture of the Wordsworth circle - until the final breakdown
of her health.
