The Excursion (Classic Reprint): A Poem: A Poem (Classic Reprint) (Classic Reprint Series) - Softcover
Synopsis
A new edition of a Wordsworth classic presents a reflective, nature‑driven poem that blends verse with momentary scenes from a life lived among mountains and people. The work invites readers to consider how memory, moral insight, and everyday work shape our sense of purpose.
In this edition, the poem is framed by a preface that explains its scope and its place within a larger work about nature, society, and the inner life. Through sections that glimpse village life, solitary dwellings, and encounters with ordinary people, the book explores how perspective can deepen when one steps away from the bustle of modern life and turns to the countryside.
- Delve into themes of solitude, memory, and the moral lessons found in daily life.
- Witness vivid scenes of rural living, mountain landscapes, and the human bonds that sustain them.
- Explore reflections on epitaphs, memory, and how we remember the dead.
- Experience a blend of narrative, drama, and lyric poetry that invites contemplation.
Ideal for readers who enjoy meditative verse, nature‑driven philosophy, and Wordsworth’s approach to life’s quieter moments.

The Excursion: A Poem (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an extract from a long and demanding piece of work that will consist of three separate parts. The subject of the first part is the author's life story up until the point where he felt ready to start the ambitious literary project he has begun. The second section is the piece presented here, which takes the form of a series of conversations with a revered old friend, a wanderer and former schoolmaster, who recounts his own life story and offers reflections on nature, humanity, and life's purpose. The concluding section will feature meditations from the author's own perspective. Whilst the author is aware that presenting the second part of a longer work out of sequence is unusual, he does so because it references current events and is thus more time -sensitive than the other sections. This book will appeal to those interested in nature, philosophy, religion, and the human condition, and offers profound insights on these subjects that will stay with the reader long after they have finished reading. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330442661_0
