| Summary |
"Studies in Literature" by John Morley is a collection of critical essays written in the early 20th century.

The opening of the collection introduces the reader to the life and times of Wordsworth, detailing his aesthetic ideals and the profound historical changes that occurred during his lifetime. Morley reflects on Wordsworth's unique position amid the turbulence of the French Revolution, the evolving literary landscape, and how Wordsworth's poetry emerged as a representation of personal and natural significance. This introduction sets the stage for the broader themes Morley will examine throughout the volume, illustrating the enduring influence of Wordsworth's work on literature and the influences that shaped his poetic vision.
