Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from William Wordsworth and Annette Vallon
I am deeply grateful to Mr. Gordon Wordsworth, the lineal descendant of the poet, for his courteous communications and especially for his positive assur ance that no traces of Annette and Caroline subsist in the family papers that have been preserved, for it would have been unjustifiable to give to the world a fragmentary and often conjectural story of the episode so long as there remained a possibility of having a more thorough account of the poet's doings and feelings. It is a pleasant duty to express my thanks to M. Guy Trouillard, already mentioned, and M. Jacques Soyer, the Archivist of Loiret; to M. Pinault.
