A selection of the poems and letters of William Wordsworth which have to do with English scenery and English life. An author’s viewpoint and the world he looks upon are no where better commanded than from the subjective realm of his own poetry, for that reason this volume of Wordsworth’s verse is offered as “a guide to some of his well-beloved haunts.”
“Mrs. McMahan has already proved herself ... a singularly inspiring guide to intimate acquaintance with recondite poetic treasure.”

“The volume is thus an excellent supplement to Mr. Rannie’s (which is illustrated less freely), although her own introductions and comments are of no special value.”
