- catalog abstract ""William Wordsworth, often regarded as the High Priest of British Romantic Poetry, had the longest career of the Romantics, one extending from his days as a schoolboy almost to the end of his life in 1850, from the Lyrical Ballads and descriptive poetry of the 1790s to the late poetry of the 1840s. With this long career came a remarkable history of critical reception: from reviews by his contemporaries in journals and magazines; to the major statements of Matthew Arnold, John Stuart Mill, and others; to the amazing variety of books, essays, and theoretical approaches of the twentieth century. Although there are a number of studies about the critical reception of Wordsworth's poetry and critical theory, Professor Mahoney's book is the first full-length study of how critics - from the earliest reviewers to the major Victorian voices, to the enormous twentieth-century response - have approached the many facets of the great English Romantic's work. Mahoney does not aim at following the course of Wordsworth's life and career, as many admirable and recent biographies have done; rather he follows the course of a critical reputation as it has evolved from the poet's earliest probes to the present day. Thus Wordsworth and the Critics offers an engaging narrative of the reputation of this most prominent of Romantic poets."--Jacket.".
