William Wordsworth (1770-1850) was born in Cockermouth, Cumberland. In 1798 he published the Lyrical Ballads with Coleridge, settling shortly after in Dove Cottage, Grasmere, with his sister Dorothy. He died at Rydal Mount in 1850, shortly before the posthumous publication of that landmark of English Romanticism, The Prelude.

About the Author
William Wordsworth was born in the Lake District in April 1770, and died there eighty years later on 23 April 1850. In his youth Wordsworth experienced the French Revolution first hand and spent his twenties wandering throughout Europe. In 1794 Wordsworth met Samuel Taylor Coleridge with whom he wrote Lyrical Ballads in 1798 and to whom he addressed his epic work, The Prelude. Wordsworth gradually established himself as the great poet of the Romantic period and in 1843 he became Poet Laureate.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Reissued with New Introduction. Paperback. Slight crease to corner front cover. Introduction by Jenni Calder. Wordsworth's poetry reveals his close affinity to the natural world in which he discerned a sense of moral purpose. And, in his contemplation of people, too, he constantly sought the meaning in their fate. A deeply religious man, he saw poetry as a gift for interpreting these preoccupations and perhaps, above all, as the perfect medium for the expression of 'emotion recollected in tranquility'. This volume contains a selection of his best-known verse including two long excerpts from his great autobiographical poems, The Prelude and The Excursion. 192 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
