'an indispensable purchase ... An important book, recommended for
all universitylibraries.'
N. Bruman, University of Minnesota, Choice, March 1994
`...he has once more put all Wordsworth scholars in his debt...Hill
goes a long way towards making his volumes the kind of genuine
correspondence that scholars actually want to use. When scholars in
future, and not just literary ones, want to know the name and dates
of the third son by a second marriage of an obscure member of the
Beaumont circle, the first resource will be the index to the Oxford
volumes.'
Times Literary Supplement
`Alan G. Hill's New Letters...gives us a more complete sense of
Wordsworth's connections, views, and feelings...this volume is a
valuable addition to Wordsworth scholarship. Like the rest of the
volumes in the Oxford Wordsworth letters, the scholarship is of a
very high standard, and the critical apparatus is sensible and
clear. Finally, Alan G. Hill as editor has done an exemplary job in
filling in the attendant contextual details whenever necessary.
Any
serious Wordsworth scholar will doubtless need access to this
volume, if only to try and figure out what Wordsworth may or may
not have said about Coleridge's gin-drinking habits.'
