- Used Book in Good Condition
Of all the lasting innovations that William Wordsworth (1770-1850) brought to our literature, it is his discovery of nature and his fresh vision of human lives in the context of nature that have most influenced our cultural climate. Here, collected in this volume, are Wordsworthâ€™s finest works, some of the most beautiful poems ever written: from the famous lyrical ballads, including â€œThe Tables Turnedâ€ and â€œLines Composed a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey,â€ to the sonnets and narrative poems, to excerpts from his magnum opus, The Preludes. By turning away from mythological subjects and artificial diction toward the life and language around him, Wordsworth acquired for poetry the strength and new sources of inspiration that have allowed it to survive and flourish in the modern world.
