Revolutionizing poetry with clarity and emotion, this collection showcases the best of William Wordsworth's groundbreaking works.

A pioneer of the Romantic movement, William Wordsworth wrote about the natural world and human emotion with a clarity of language which revolutionized poetry. This edition of Selected Poems is part of the Macmillan Collector's Library, a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket-sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover, and include an introduction by Peter Harness.

Selected Poems brings together some of Wordsworth's most acclaimed and influential works, including an extract from his magnum opus, The Prelude, alongside shorter poems such as 'I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud', 'To a Skylark' and 'Tintern Abbey'. Written primarily at his home in Grasmere in the picturesque Lake District, Wordsworth's poems are lyrical evocations of nature and spirituality. With a force and clarity of language akin to everyday speech, they were truly groundbreaking for their time and established Wordsworth as one of the foremost poets of the Romantic era.

Acerca del autor

William Wordsworth was born on 7 April 1770 at Cockermouth, in the English Lake District, the son of a lawyer. He was one of five children and developed a close bond with his only sister, Dorothy, whom he lived with for most of his life. At the age of seventeen, shortly after the deaths of his parents, Wordsworth went to St John’s College, Cambridge, and after graduating visited Revolutionary France. Upon returning to England he published his first poem and devoted himself wholly to writing. He became great friends with other Romantic poets and collaborated with Samuel Taylor Coleridge on Lyrical Ballads. In 1843, he succeeded Robert Southey as Poet Laureate and died in the year The Prelude was finally published, 1850.
