For Wordsworth, poetry was the primary mode of expression and prose was secondary. The poet mainly wrote prose in order to find a structure for his poetic beliefs and political opi nions. Over the course of his prolific career, Wordsworth produced little prose, but the writings, letters, and notes in these three volumes provide insight into the mind and world of a great writer. Edward Moxon was a significant publisher of Victorian literature and William Wordsworth entrusted him with the publication of his works from 1835 onwards. It was natural, then, for editor Rev. Grosart to continue the Moxon tradition when he published these works. Show more
