This new edition of The Later Years contains over six hundred
letters of William and Dorothy Wordsworth that have never been
published before, and many more that have appeared only in
fragmentary or incorrect form. It follows Wordsworth through the
troubled years of early Victorian England, provides indispensable
material for understanding the later phases of his career, while
also offering innumerable insights into the great poems of his
prime. Many hitherto unpublished letters reveal his pervasive
influence as the poet of Man, Nature, and Society, who was
acclaimed in his later years as the first of the great Victorian
sages. Others illustrate his life in the Lake District and London,
his last literary projects (including the publication of Guilt and
Sorrow and The Borderers), and his contacts with a new generation
of writers, artists, churchmen, and men of affairs, from both
Britain and America. Above all, his correspondence bears witness to
his lifelong commitment to poetry. For Dorothy Wordsworth, however,
these were years of physical decline and near-silence, and the
poet's letters provide a moving record of his struggles to come to
terms with the problems and cares that afflicted his immediate
family circle.
