Selected Poems: William Wordsworth

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.
