The Prelude: The Four Texts (1798, 1799, 1805, 1850) (Penguin Classics) Sep 30, 2004

by William Wordsworth, Jonathan Wordsworth

( 38 )

$14.38

First published in July 1850, shortly after Wordsworth's death, The Prelude was the culmination of over fifty years of creative work. The great Romantic poem of human consciousness, it takes as its theme 'the growth of a poet's mind': leading the reader back to Wordsworth's formative moments of childhood and youth, and detailing his experiences as a radical undergraduate in France at the time of the Revolution. Initially inspired by Coleridge's exhortation that Wordsworth write a work upon the French Revolution, The Prelude has ultimately become one of the finest examples of poetic autobiography ever written; a fascinating examination of the self that also presents a comprehensive view of the poet's own creative vision.

Wordsworth: Poems (Everyman's Library Pocket Poets Series) Apr 9, 2014

by William Wordsworth, Peter Washington

( 47 )

$8.99

Of all the lasting innovations that William Wordsworth (1770-1850) brought to our literature, it is his discovery of nature and his fresh vision of human lives in the context of nature that have most influenced our cultural climate. Here, collected in this volume, are Wordsworth’s finest works, some of the most beautiful poems ever written: from the famous lyrical ballads, including “The Tables Turned” and “Lines Composed a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey,” to the sonnets and narrative poems, to excerpts from his magnum opus, The Preludes. By turning away from mythological subjects and artificial diction toward the life and language around him, Wordsworth acquired for poetry the strength and new sources of inspiration that have allowed it to survive and flourish in the modern world.

Lyrical Ballads: With a Few Other Poems (Penguin Classics) Aug 31, 2006

by Samuel Coleridge, William Wordsworth

( 79 )

$9.99

Published in 1798, Lyrical Ballads is a dazzling collaboration containing twenty-three poems by close friends, William Wordsworth (1770-1850) and Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) - two major figures of English Romanticism. The volume heralded a new approach to poetry and expresses the poets' reflections on mankind's relationship with the forces of the world. Coleridge's contribution includes the nightmarish vision of 'The Rime of the Ancyent Marinere', one of the works for which he became best known, as well as the fantastical conversational poem 'The Foster-Mother's Tale' and the melancholic 'The Nightingale'. Wordsworth's 'We are Seven' depicts a child's naïve optimism in the face of the cruel mortality, while 'Goody Blake and Harry Gill' and 'Simon Lee' celebrate the simplicity and strength he perceived in country people, and 'Tintern Abbey' explores the healing powers of nature.

Published as part of the Penguin Poetry First Editions series in which the greatest collections of poetry in English will be published in their original form. All texts have been completely reset and some minor changes made to punctuation.

Wordsworth: A Life Mar 10, 2021

by Juliet Barker

( 15 )

$3.99

Too often dismissed as an author of homely verse, Wordsworth was actually a radical and brilliant man, his life a fascinating blend of achievement and tragedy.

This striking portrait, taken from letters and autobiographical fragments carefully selected by Juliet Barker, illuminates Wordworth’s life from his childhood to his death in 1850. It reveals the rebellious schoolboy who became a supporter of the French Revolution, the radical young poet who rose to be a revered patriarch, and the intensely private man who loved and cared deeply for his family.

Praise for Wordsworth: A Life:

‘Works surprisingly well … cleverly combining, as Barker has done here, his own letters with those of his family and with other documents, including extracts from diaries and journals’ - Adam Sisman, Literary Review

‘Reveals the character of the romantic poet through his own voluminous and expressive correspondence’ - History Today

‘Barker’s judicious selection shows us Wordsworth the writer in a way not possible in a biography that seeks to explain the life as well. There is a greatness in Wordsworth’s very doggedness [and] Barker allows us to hear the man himself, greatness and all’ - Kate Chisholm, Sunday Telegraph

‘Intense, shrewd … [gives] the general impression of Wordsworth as a recognisably decent, kind and likeable person’ – Andrew Motion, Financial Times

Juliet Barker is an Oxford graduate, historian and writer who was born – and still lives – in Yorkshire. She has written biographies of Wordsworth and the Brontës, and was curator and librarian of the Brontë Parsonage Museum for several years.

About Poems in Two Volumes, Volume 2 by William Wordsworth

"Poems, in Two Volumes is a collection of poetry by William Wordsworth, published in 1807. It contains many notable poems, including:
""Resolution and Independence""
""I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud""
""My Heart Leaps Up""
""Ode: Intimations of Immortality""
""Ode to Duty""
""The Solitary Reaper""
""Elegiac Stanzas""
""Composed upon Westminster Bridge, September 3, 1802""
""London, 1802""
""The world is too much with us""
Poems in Two Volumes has been considered to be the peak of Wordsworth's power, and of his popularity. However, it was poorly reviewed by Wordsworth's contemporaries, including Lord Byron, whom Wordsworth would come to despise. Byron said of the volume, in one of its first reviews, ""Mr. Wordsworth ceases to please, ... clothing [his ideas] in language not simple, but puerile"". Wordsworth himself wrote ahead to soften the thoughts of The Critical Review, hoping his friend Wrangham would push a softer approach. He succeeded in preventing a known enemy from writing the review, but it didn't help; as Wordsworth himself said, it was a case of ""Out of the frying pan, into the fire"". Of any positives within Poems in Two Volumes, perceived masculinity in ""The Happy Warrior"" was one. ""I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud"" couldn't have been further from it. Wordsworth took the reviews stoically."
