It is hard to imagine how radically the tender songs and simple
stories in this collection changed the history of English poetry,
but Wordsworth exerted a profound influence on the whole of
nineteeth-century culture in Britain and America. His literary
revolution was founded on three principles: introspection, nature
worship and the cult of ordinary experience. These three he blended
together in a verse which is simple in manner but profound and
deeply moving in content. In an age of revolutionary upheaval,
industrial stress and religious doubt, Wordsworth rediscovered
spiritual value in the individual's encounter with nature. In our
own age of ecological disaster and moral uncertainty, his
achievement speaks to us more urgently than ever. From the poet's
extensive output, this comprehensive selection includes everything
non-specialist readers are likely to need.
