There are no fewer than seventeen manuscripts of The Prelude in the
Wordsworth library at Grasmere. Working with these materials, the
editors have prepared an accurate reading version of 1799 and have
newly edited from manuscripts the texts of 1805 and 1850 thus
freeing the latter poem from the unwarranted alterations made by
Wordsworth's literary executors. The editors also provide a text of
MS. JJ (Wordsworth's earliest drafts for parts of The Prelude) as
well as transcriptions of other important passages in manuscript
which Wordsworth failed to include in any fair copy of his poem.
The texts are fully annotated, and the notes for all three versions
of The Prelude are arranged so that each version may be read
independently. The editors provide a concise history of the texts
and describe the principles by which each has been transcribed from
the manuscripts. There are many other aids for a thorough study of
The Prelude and its background. A chronological table enables the
reader to contextualize the biographical and historical allusions
in the texts and footnotes. "References to The Prelude in Process"
presents the relevant allusions to the poem, by Wordsworth and by
members of his circle, from 1799 to 1850. Another section, "Early
Reception," reprints significant comments on the published version
of 1850 by readers and reviewers. Finally, there are seven critical
essays by Jonathan Wordsworth, M. H. Abrams, Geoffrey H. Hartman,
Richard J. Onorato, William Empson, Herbert Lindenberger, and W. B.
Gallie."
