William Wordsworth letter to Robert Pearse Gillies, 1817 September 19
Wordsworth, William, 1770-1850
A letter to Robert Pearse Gillies, Scottish editor and author, in which William Wordsworth discusses some upcoming travel he must undertake, noting that he will be away from home for a fortnight beginning September 22 or 23, 1817. Gillies had sent Wordsworth a letter letting him know that he would be in England soon, and Wordsworth is hopeful that his travel won't cause him to miss Gillies' visit. Wordsworth also discusses skimming but not reading Samuel Taylor Coleridge's "Biographia Literaria," his disdain for criticism, and his dislike of publishing poems in periodicals.
