Wordsworth's Poetic Theory Reviews

'Regier and Uhlig have assembled a remarkable group of scholars and critics who contribute to an invaluable volume for Romanticists and literary theorists alike.' Ross Wilson, Textual Practice

'The Wordsworthian question of poetry [ ] motivates this exciting and challenging book, and receives from its distinguished contributors a range of compelling answers.' Tom Duggett, Romanticism

'Seldom does a collection of essays display the internal coherence of this intellectually ambitious and well-judged volume. The aspects of Wordsworth's poetic theory and practice addressed by the contributors are theoretically sophisticated and timely. [ ] The exceptional standard of the essays, their dialogic development of a series of closely related themes, and the inherent interest of the subject make the collection vital reading for any student not just of the Romantic period, but of poetic theory in general.' Forum for Modern Language Studies

'A significant and timely crystallization of one of the most exciting developments in recent studies in Romanticism: what might be described as the 'cognitive turn' in Wordswoth studies. [ ] A rich and intellectually invigorating collection [ ] it brings together several generations of significant and emerging Wordsworth scholars, and shows the way forward for an excitingly revitalizes Wordsworth criticism. Simon Swift, BARS Bulletin & Review
