One of the major poets of Romanticism, Wordsworth epitomized the spirit of his age with his celebration of the natural world and the spontanous expression of feeling. This volume contains a rich selection from the most creative phase of his life, including extracts from his masterpiece, The Prelude, and the best-loved of his shorter poems such as ‘Composed Upon Westminster Bridge’, ‘Tintern Abbey’, ‘I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud’, ‘Lucy Gray’, and ‘Michael’. Together these poems demonstrate not only Wordsworth’s astonishing range and power, but the sustained and coherent vision that informed his work.
