  • "Wordsworth's verse declares a belief in the power of poetry to teach by appealing to the imagination and to the 'grand elementary principle of pleasure, by which man knows, and feels, and lives, and moves'. His unique relationship with the poet and political activist Samuel Taylor Coleridge, formed in the political and social ferment of the 1790s, produced a revolution in literature, resulting in the joint volume, Lyrical Ballads (1798-1805) - a landmark in the history of English Romanticism. This selection, chosen from the Oxford Authors critical edition, includes all Wordsworth's finest lyrics, and a large sample of The Prelude (1805), his extraordinary autobiographical poem in blank verse and the first truly great achievement of a new era in English poetry."
  • "The most inclusive single-volume cloth edition of his poetry available, "Selected Poetry" represents Wordsworth's prolific output from the poems that changed the face of English poetry first published in Lyrical Ballads in 1798 to the late "Yarrow Revisited". Wordsworth's poetry is celebrated for its deep feeling, it use of ordinary speech, the love of nature it expresses, and its representation of commonplace things and events. There is no middle ground for readers of Wordsworth. There is a sharp divide between those who are deeply impassioned about his work and those for whom it is too radical and overtly romantic. Wordsworth changed the aesthetic of poetry with a seriousness of purpose and a deeper claim to "suffering and joy, in suffering not less than joy." In this new Modern Library hard cover edition edited by the imminent critic and Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Mark Van Doren with a new introduction by noted Romanticist David Bromwich, readers will find the most inclusive single volume of Wordsworth's poetry currently available. Spanning the years from 1787 through 1834, this is a complete and well-selected collection that represents Wordsworth's prolific creative output."
  • "Collects poems by William Wordsworth, including "Lucy Gray; or, Solitude," "The Sparrow's Nest," "Laodamia," and "Yarrow Revisited.""
