This authoritative edition was formerly published in the acclaimed
Oxford Authors series under the general editorship of Frank
Kermode. It brings together a unique combination of Wordsworth's
poetry and prose - all the major poems, complemented by important
letters, prefaces, and essays - to give the essence of his work and
thinking. 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. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's
Classics has made available the widest range of literature from
around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's
commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a
wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions
by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text,
up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
