This information is presented in an easy-to-use form - in alphabetical order by author - and includes dates of reading and full discussions of the evidence. It draws on analyses of Wordsworth's manuscripts contained in current or forthcoming scholarly editions of his works, and incorporates a great deal of original research into the poet's intellectual development, including studies of the libraries of John Wordsworth Sr. (the poet's father), Hawkshead Grammar School, Racedown Lodge, and the Bristol Library Society. Where possible, surviving copies of Wordsworth's books are examined and described. This is a most complete study of Wordsworth's reading, and will be an essential reference tool for all scholars and students of his work.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e List of abbreviations\u003cbr\u003e Dates of readings\u003cbr\u003e A note on texts\u003cbr\u003e Wordsworth's reading 1770–1799\u003cbr\u003e Appendix I: possible readings\u003cbr\u003e Appendix II: Wordsworth's Hawkshead and classical educations, and his College examinations at Cambridge\u003cbr\u003e Appendix III: books purchased for Wordsworth, 1784–6\u003cbr\u003e Appendix IV: Wrangham and his library\u003cbr\u003e Appendix V: Thomas Poole's library and the Stowey Book Society\u003cbr\u003e Appendix VI: Coleridge's Bristol Library borrowings\u003cbr\u003e Appendix VII: Joseph Cottle's Bristol Library borrowings\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography\u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Literary studies: poetry \u0026amp; poets [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Literary studies: poetry \u0026amp; poets\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Literary%20studies:%20poetry%20\u0026amp;%20poets%20%5BDSC%5D%22\"\u003eDSC\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46007259037976,"sku":"9780521416009","price":87.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780521416009i_79ac8400-f5b0-4f2e-9b1c-7d4cba96e275.jpg?v=1691381368","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/wordsworths-reading-1770-1799-hardback-9780521416009","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
