"Recritiquing William Wordsworth is an anthology of scholarly critical articles contributed by different scholars and teachers of English hailing from different parts of India. Almost all the major aspects of Wordsworth have been touched upon in a very lucid and comprehensive way. Some of the papers examine the Wordsworthian philosophy of nature in the light of Indian aesthetics and Vedantic knowledge. There are some other articles which critically deal with the language and style of Wordsworth. 

The book, it is hoped, will certainly prove to be very fruitful to all those students, research scholars and lovers of Wordsworth who want to be acquainted with the various aspects of Wordsworthian poetry and philosophy." (jacket)
