Wordsworth and Massey in two American poetry collections
A critical note weighs modern introductions to Wordsworth and Massey. Rolfe’s edition of Wordsworth is praised for text choices though criticized for heavy notes and too many selections. Massey’s volumes are seen as flawed by some poems yet strong in war poems, while Carleton’s City Legends and Farm Ballads are deemed uneven but earnest in feeling.
