[This text was also sent to Douglas Oliver, and possibly to others. In addition, given its place in the galley for Bean News, 4, and among a copy of the Bean News, 4 galleys edited by Prynne, it seems likely that Prynne intended for this, and the three pieces listed below, to be published].

Lecture on Wordsworth’s Prelude, University of Cambridge, 24 November 1994.
– quoted in Birgitta Johansson, The Engineering of Being: An Ontological Approach to J.H. Prynne (Ph.D. Dissertation, Umeå: Umeå University; Acta Universitatis Umensis, Umeå Studies in the Humanities, 135; 1997): 48. Ben Watson, in ‘Wordsworth’s Prelude & Beethoven’s Fidelio: Two Bourgeois Classics 200 Years On’ (2005), online at http://www.militantesthetix.co.uk/critlit/1805.htm and at https://web.archive.org/web/20160131120424/http://ammarxists.org/ben-watson-wordsworths-prelude-beethovens-fidelio/ [approx. pp. 8], also mentions Prynne’s 1975 Cambridge lectures on Wordsworth’s Prelude; and Keston Sutherland, in J.H. Prynne and Philology (Unpublished Ph.D. Dissertation, Cambridge University, 2004): 98–99, also discusses Prynne’s lecture series on Wordsworth at the University of Cambridge, 1994–2003. Manuscript drafts of a complete series of eight lectures with the title ‘Wordsworth’s Prelude’ are in the Cambridge University Library Special Collections’s J.H. Prynne Papers, as part of MS Add.10144 [cataloguing still in progress], and would appear to be the basis for what Johansson, Watson and Sutherland discuss. A series of nine pdf files by J.H. Prynne of what seem to be lecture notes on Wordsworth’s Prelude, substantially different from the lectures titled ‘Wordsworth’s Prelude’ contained among the J.H. Prynne Papers, are also online alongside essays, reading lists and tips for university students at https://www.cai.cam.ac.uk/documents/jhp13 on the Gonville & Caius College website.
