Excerpt: ... the character of the Poet delineated in the original preface before mentioned.) 3rdly, Reflection, --which makes the Poet acquainted with the value of actions, images, thoughts, and feelings; and assists the sensibility in perceiving their connection with each other. 4thly, Imagination and Fancy, --to modify, to create, and to associate. 5thly, Invention, --by which characters are composed out of materials supplied by observation; whether of the Poet's own heart and mind, or of external life and nature; and such incidents and situations produced as are most impressive to the imagination, and most fitted to do justice to the characters, sentiments, and passions, which the poet undertakes to illustrate. And, lastly, Judgment, --to decide how and where, and in what degree, each of these faculties ought to be exerted; so that the less shall not be sacrificed to the greater, nor the greater, slighting the less, arrogate, to its own injury, more than its due. By judgment, also, is determined what are the laws and appropriate graces of every species of composition.1 The materials of Poetry, by these powers collected and produced, are cast, by means of various moulds, into divers forms. The moulds may be enumerated, and the forms specified, in the following order, 1st, the Narrative, --including the Epopoeia, the Historic Poem, the Tale, the Romance, the Mock heroic, and, if the spirit of Homer will tolerate such neighbourhood, that dear production of our days, the metrical Novel. Of this class, the distinguishing mark is, that the Narrator, however liberally his speaking agents be introduced, is himself the source from which everything primarily flows. Epic poets, in order that their mode of composition may accord with the elevation of their...

Excerpt from William Wordsworth, Vol. 2: His Life, Works, and Influence Wordsworth's advice, or, rather, fervent 'entreaty. The fever of his mind had reached such a pitch as to. Alarm his friend, and he would therefore take a week's respite and prepare Christabel for the press. He adds: You have seen, I hope, the Lyrical Ballads. In the divine poem called Michael, by an infamous blunder of the printer, near twenty lines are omitted in page 210, which makes it nearly unintelligible. Wordsworth means to write to you and to send them together with a list of the numerous errata. The char acter of the Lyrical Ballads is very great, and will increase daily. They have extolled them in the British Critic. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Prose Works of William Wordsworth, Vol. 2 of 3: For the First Time Collected, With Additions From Unpublished Manuscripts; Edited, With Notes and Illustrations; AEsthetical and Literary Dear Sir, I have carefully perused the Review of the Life of your friend Robert Burns, which you kindly transmitted to me; the author has rendered a substantial service to the poet's memory; and the annexed letters are all important to the subject. After having expressed this opinion, I shall not trouble you by commenting upon the publication; but will confine myself to the request of Mr. Gilbert Burns, that I would furnish him with my notions upon the best mode of conducting the defence of his brother's injured reputation; a favourable opportunity being now afforded him to convey his sentiments to the world, along with a republication of Dr. Currie's book, which he is about to superintend. From the respect which I have long felt for the character of the person who has thus honoured me, and from the gratitude which, as a lover of poetry, I owe to the genius of his departed relative, I should most gladly comply with this wish; if I could hope that any suggestions of mine would be of service to the cause. But, really, I feel it a thing of much delicacy, to give advice upon this occasion, as it appears to me, mainly, not a question of opinion, or of taste, but a matter of conscience. Mr. Gilbert Burns must know, if any man living does, what his brother was; and no one will deny that he, who possesses this knowledge, is a man of unimpeachable veracity. He has already spoken to the world in contradiction of the injurious assertions that have been made, and has told why he forbore to do this on their first appearance.
