Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of William Wordsworth, Vol. 2 The Lyrical Ballads were first published, as we have seen, in the year 1798, and a second edition, with a supplementary volume, in 1800. The following letter, from Wordsworth to his friend Cottle, in reference to the first edition, was written during his residence at Sockburn. In the postscript he gives expression to what he had often felt It is curious that, in Wordsworth´s case, the early motive to publication should have been a "pecuniary" one. My Dear Cottle, - I thank you for your draft, which I received on Friday evening... I am not poor enough yet to make me think it right that I should take interest for a debt from a friend, paid eleven months after it is due. If I were in want, I should make no scruple in applying to you for twice that sum. I should be very glad to hear so good an account of the sale of the Lyrical Ballads, if I were not afraid that your wish to give pleasure, and your proneness to self-deception, had made you judge too favourably. I am told they have been reviewed in The Monthly Review, but I have not heard in what style... God bless you, my dear Cottle.
