Description:Excerpt from The Wordsworth Dictionary of Persons and Places: With the Familiar Quotations From His Works (Including Full Index) And a Chronologically-Arranged List of His Best Poems The deep and reverent study of the works of the classic authors of our country is undoubtedly an important feature of nineteenth-century intellectual life, and a work like the present, it is hoped, may be the means of still further promoting such a study. Concordances to the writings of Shakespeare, Milton, Pope, Cowper, Burns, and Tennyson have been published, but such a useful aid to the study of Wordsworth is still a desideratum. The present volume may be taken as an apology for a Wordsworth Concordance. Its ground covers some of the more important features of the Poet's work - his numerous allusions to Persons and Places. I have myself long felt the desire for such an aid to the study of the Poet as is now offered, and I put it forth feeling that it would be of real utility to every student and admirer of his works. I have therefore endeavoured to index every description of, or reference to, persons (Contemporary, Historical, Mythical, &c.) named or described in the Poems. The same has been attempted as regards the Places. No other English Poet is so peculiarly associated with locality as is Wordsworth. This latter feature is the more interesting, for wherever he went there has he become associated, and his poems are an index to his travels. Often, too, he has interpreted to us the very heart of the scene, as for example in the following lines on Yarrow: - "Meek loveliness is round thee spread, A softness still and holy;The grace of forest charms decayed, And pastoral melancholy."
