Beschreibung

The three-volume edition of Wordsworth's poems is the most comprehensive edition now in print and contains reading texts chosen from the 21 volumes of the Cornell Wordsworth. It is without a doubt the most pleasurable way to read Wordsworth's poems in their entirety. Volume 2 includes the thirteen-book Prelude of 1805-06, Benjamin the Waggoner, The Tuft of Primroses (and other poems composed for the unfinished Recluse), The Excursion (in the text of the first edition in 1814), The White Doe of Rylstone, and translations from Chaucer and Virgil. This title is also available as a searchable PDF ebook, from Humanities-Ebooks.co.uk, or to Libraries from IngramSpark. An Addendum to this edition is now available from Humanities-Ebooks, containing additional texts of An Evening Walk, The Baker's Cart, The Ruined Cottage, Nutting, Yew-Trees, the odes of 1815-17, Nab Well and Guilt and Sorrow, with the full 40-page index to the three printed volumes. With the Addendum the complete 3-volume edition is now 2600 pages. The editor, Jared Curtis, is Professor Emeritus of English at Simon Fraser University, also edited 'Poems, in Two Volumes' and Other Poems, 1800-1807, Last Poems, 1821-1850, and was co-editor with Carol Landon of Early Poems and Fragments, 1785-1797, all in the Cornell Wordsworth.

Autor

William Wordsworth (1770 -1850) was born in Cockermouth, England, and was part of the famous Lake Poets group. Wordsworth was the United Kingdom's Poet Laureate from 1843 until his death. He is best-known for his collection of poems, Lyrical Ballads, that he wrote and published with his friend and fellow Lake Poet, Samuel Taylor Coleridge. The seminal collection helped to set England's Romantic Era in motion.
