The Wordsworth volume in the 21st-Century Oxford Authors series is
the most comprehensive selection currently available of the poetry
and prose of one of the finest poets in the English language. The
familiar poems from Wordsworth's 'Great Decade' are all included,
but they are complemented by a more than usually generous selection
of the best poems from his later years. The extracts from the Guide
to the Lakes will be a revelation to many readers, as will the
political prose of the Convention of Cintra. All of the material is
presented in chronological sequence, so that the reader can see how
Wordsworth's changing concerns were expressed in prose as well as
poetry. Work which Wordsworth published is separated from that
which he did not reveal, which will enable the reader to trace
through successive published volumes the development of
Wordsworth's public poetic self, while also being able to follow
the growth of the body of poetry which, for whatever reason,
Wordsworth did not choose to make public when it was written - The
Prelude being the greatest and most obvious example.
