William Wordsworth, Paperback / softback Book

William Wordsworth Paperback / softback

Edited by Seamus Heaney

Part of the Poet to Poet series

Paperback / softback

Description

In this series, a contemporary poet selects and introduces a poet of the past.

By their selection of verses and by the personal and critical reactions they express in their introductions, the selectors offer a passionate and accessible introduction to some of the greatest poets in history. William Wordsworth (1770-1850) was born in Cockermouth, Cumberland.

In 1798 he published the Lyrical Ballads with Coleridge, settling shortly after in Dove Cottage, Grasmere, with his sister Dorothy.

He died at Rydal Mount in 1850, shortly before the posthumous publication of that landmark of English Romanticism, The Prelude.
