"Poems 'Bound Each to Each' in the 1815 Edition of Wordsworth," The Wordsworth Circle, 12 (1981), 133-40.


These pages trace out a proposal to explain the structure of the first collected edition of Wordsworth's poems (1815). This structure remained substantially intact in the later collections. The 1815 edition was thought of as a single work, to be read from cover to cover. The broad outline is from childhood to old age, but tucked within the adulthood section is a sequence of mental faculties, from the affections to the understanding and judgment.
