Recensione

"The poetical performance of Wordsworth is, after that of Shakespeare and Milton, of which all the world now recognizes the worth, undoubtedly the most considerable in our language from the Elizabethan age to the present time."
--Matthew Arnold

"Wordsworth stands for a distinctly human naturalness; one, that is, consummating a discipline, moral and other. A poet who can bring home to us the possibility of such a naturalness should today be found important. In Wordsworth, the possibility is offered us realized; realized in a mode central and compelling enough to enforce the bearing of poetry upon life, the significance of poetry for actual living."
--F. R. Leavis
