Commentary Conducive To Books The Major Works

William Wordsworth (1770-1850) has long been one of the best-known and best-loved English poets. The Lyrical Ballads, written with Coleridge, is a landmark in the history of English romantic poetry. His celebration of nature and of the beauty and poetry in the commonplace embody a unified and coherent vision that was profoundly innovative.

This volume presents the poems in their order of composition and in their earliest completed state, enabling the reader to trace Wordsworth's poetic development and to share the experience of his contemporaries. It includes a large sample of the finest lyrics, and also longer narratives such as The Ruined Cottage, Home at Grasmere, Peter Bell, and the autobiographical masterpiece, The Prelude (1805). All the major examples of Wordsworth's prose on the subject of poetry are also included.

Critique Of Books The Major Works

Oh, Wordsworth. I have read at least a little bit of the output of almost all of the great English romantics that are considered part of the traditional cannon. I enjoyed a lot of their work, but no poet of that age could ever speak to me like Wordsworth. This volume is over 1,000 pages long, so not every poem collected here is great. And the conventional criticism that later Wordsworth is not as good as young Wordsworth is certainly true. But Wordsworth's view of poetry as "a man speaking to

This is possibly written for children, but it is just as enjoyable for adults. I like the illustrations. There are also small notes of explanation for words that people might not be familiar with now. It's a wonderful overview of his poetry and there is also biographical information that I found very interesting.

I read that edition from cover to cover except the notes. William Wordsworth is an exceptional poet indeed. He knows how to relate external landscape and atmosphere to the internal essence and feelings. William is an alt environmentalist and he depicts nature in an impeccable mode. From Lyrical Ballads, to narrative poems, and the autobiographical The prelude, nature is referred to and is emphasised in most of the poems. It is all in all a worthy experience of reading.

Usually I really have to like poetry to read it in my spare time although I do love studying it as you get a full grasp of the use of the language. Although I am going to study it this was one of the first times reading it before study which was new and although it did take me awhile to be able to get used it to I did begin to really enjoy this.

One of the finest poet of the English language. His most of the poems reflect about nature and scenery of her beauty. His works are a real masterclass. I remember one of his poem 'The solitary reaper' that has struck my heart at the core. His poems are realistic, sarcastic and beautiful to read or sing it.

NICE BOOK.

wordsworth and his love of nature make me love nature. his 'spots of time' is one of my favorite concepts ever. i sometimes measure my life out by his words. he's one of my favorite thinkers and writers
