COLLECTED POEMS WILLIAM WORDSWORTH

William Wordsworth (1770-1850) is the foremost of the English Romantic poets. He sought to write in the language of ordinary men and women, of ordinary thoughts, sights and sounds, and his early poetry represents this fresh approach to his art. Wordsworth spent most of his adult life in the Lake District with his sister Dorothy and his wife Mary, by whom he had four children. His remarkable autobiographical poem The Prelude, completed in 1805, is included in this full edition of Wordsworth's poetry. 906pp. Paperback.
