William Wordsworth's verse was the embodiment of the Romantic age,
with its evocation of a unifying spirit running through all things.
This collection brings together a rich and diverse selection of his
works, from the epic autobiographical masterpiece The Prelude to
much-loved shorter poems such as `I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud' and
`She Was a Phantom of Delight'. Alongside his more personal and
introspective compositions, poems such as `Lines Written a Few
Miles above Tintern Abbey', `She Dwelt among the Untrodden Ways'
and `The Idiot Boy' demonstrate, in an era of political and social
ferment, the manner in which Wordsworth, together with Samuel
Taylor Coleridge, forged a revolutionary new poetic style through
the publication of Lyrical Ballads -one that embraced the
vernacular and subjects previously deemed unworthy of poetry - and
thus changed the literary landscape of England for ever.
