Wordsworth and the formation of English studies
"This book provides a cross-national perspective on attempts to establish, maintain, and modify the discursive practices that constituted English literary studies in universities. Drawing on archival sources, it takes three leading institutions as exemplary sites: Cornell University, in the United States; the University of London, in Britain; and the University of Melbourne, in Australia."--BOOK JACKET
