xii, 312pp, with black and white illustrations. In grey-green cloth-covered boards, with gilt titles on spine. Coloured endpapers. 8vo. Boards a little faded along upper edge. Lengthy inscription, dated 1982, on the front free endpaper, else internally neat, clean, bright and tight. Wordsworth's practice of leaving his long poems unpublished for years after their completion, and his lifelong habit of revision, have obscured the original - often the best - version of those poems. This series inaugurated a fresh approach to Wordsworth scholarship and presents for the first time full and accurate texts of Wordsworth's long poems.
