William Wordsworth: The Poems, Vol. 2 (English Poets)

This collection of sixty-eight reviews (from twenty-six periodicals) of the five major English Romantic Poets provides a missing link in the history of Literary Criticism. Rarely has any similar collection gone beyond the two or three major reviewing periodicals, and reviewing was far more extensive and vigorous than such limited selections would suggest.  But more: the editor, who is the recognized authority in the field, has aimed to represent both the poets and the Reviews.  The text, moreover, has been annotated.

Hayden moves through Wordsworth's view of the relationship of mind and nature; the influence of eighteenth-century psychological thought on him; the influence of his own psychology on his literary and creative thought; his psychological views of community ranging from social relationships through all animate and inanimate life into a community beyond death; and finally Wordsworth's psychological probings of his visionary experiences.

William Wordsworth and the Mind of Man

This book was written for the general reader--although replete with original reading of the Classics.  The "Argument" of the subtitle is written against today's trendy critics who seem lost and floundering.  As an antidote, I propose as the criterion of greatness the theory of Aristotle and his tradition (which included every major critic down to the present century) that literature presents a true representation of human experience--you can't get any simpler than that! The Guide refers to the treatment of eleven Great Books that show that theory in action, providing a kind of Great Books course, what you wish you had learned in College.
