[.ca] Wordsworth and the Victorians (ISBN 0198187645)

Gill's Wordsworth and the Victorians:
This is a much needed book that shows Wordsworth's influence on Victorian writers and other artists both before and after his death. Gill has painstakingly researched his subject and shows that the later Victorians looked to WW for inspiration and guidance but did not revere him as a god. Their assessment of Wordsworth helped to propel interest in the poet in the 20thC. This book has been long in the making and is a fabulous contribution to Victorian studies and Wordsworth studies.
