Newlyns William and Dorothy Wordsworth: All in Each Other undertakes to deliver a comprehensive account of how Dorothy and William Wordsworths lives and writings were inextricably and reciprocally linked ... In sum, Newlyns very readable, beautifully illustrated book offers a wealth of details and insights into the extent and intensity of the Wordsworths creative life together. Its material is expounded in a way that primarily aims at an audience beyond academia, addressing the community of Wordsworth readers and lovers of the Lake district, who flock in thousands every year to visit its monuments. Helga Schwalm, The BARS Review The notes to the chapters are comprehensive, as is the bibliography but it is the authors knowledge of, and enthusiasm for, English Romantic Literature that makes this book a pleasure to read, and inspires the reader to look at the writings of William and Dorothy with a fresh eye. Gill Stables, Conserving Lakeland Newlyn brings formidable academic resources to her task ... [She] has an extensive scholarly knowledge of William and Dorothy's manuscripts and published texts. Nicolas Roe, The Times Literary Suppliment Unquestionably one of the best books about literature that I've ever read. Priscilla Gilman, author of The Anti-Romantic Child In its flowing, and, at times, conversational prose, Newlyn's book is both accessible and enjoyable. Moreover, in her acknowledgement of a deeply personal connection to the writing of this book, Newlyn shows it to have an almost universal appeal. Bryn Jones Square, The Oxonian Review Newlyn's is an affectionate and moving account of a remarkable bond unbroken. Times Higher Education One of the book's most admirable elements is how Newlyn gives equal weight to her subjects' writings... This unparalleled examination of the Wordsworth siblings makes this title an essential addition to English literature collections. Library Journal [I]t is beautifully written and contains everything an enthusiast of either or both Wordsworths would wish to know about their lives and work; beginners and more advanced readers alike will prosper by it. Would that it had been available to me when I first began to read Wordsworth. Duncan Wu, Literary Review Nobody interested in the Wordsworths should fail to read the book. Allan Massie, Sunday Telegraph Newlyn offers a valuable corrective to existing Wordsworth criticism and a moving testimonial to the power of creativity and community. Publishers Weekly This is an immensely valuable book. Oxford Times Newlyns very readable, beautifully illustrated book offers a wealth of details and insights into the extent and intensity of the Wordsworths creative life together Helga Schwalm, BARS review
