One of the most enduringly popular of the Romantic poets, William Wordsworth epitomized the spirit of his age with his celebration of the natural world and his belief in the importance of feeling. This volume brings together a rich selection from the most creative period of Wordsworths life from Tintern Abbey, an ode on the restorative powers of nature written during his intense friendship with Coleridge, to excerpts from his epic autobiographical poem, The Prelude . Also included are muchloved short works such as I wandered as lonely as a Cloud, Composed Upon Westminster Bridge, and the poignant Lucy Gray. These poems demonstrate Wordsworths astonishing range, power, and inventiveness, and the sustained and captivating vision that informed his work.

William Wordsworth va néixer a la casa familiar de Cumberland el dia 7 d’abril de 1770 i, amb els anys, acabaria convertint-se en el poeta cabdal del Romanticisme anglès. Amb el seu amic, el poeta Samuel Taylor Coleridge, va definir les característiques d’una nova poesia amb la publicació d’un llibre mític: Balades líriques. Durant la joventut, va defensar els ideals anarquistes i llibertaris que van sorgir a partir de l’esclat de la Revolució Francesa, a la qual es va afegir amb entusiasme fins que es va sentir traït, fet que en la seva vellesa el va portar a abraçar idees més conservadores. Es va refugiar al Lake District, la regió dels llacs, amb la seva família i els seus amics, i va escapar de la vida mundana per dedicar-se a la seva obra. Tanmateix, aquest eremitisme no va impedir que s’acabés convertint en el poeta més venerat d’Anglaterra. Va morir el dia 23 d’abril de 1850 i, després d’un decés que va commoure tota la nació, la seva vídua va donar a conèixer el manuscrit que el poeta havia estat treballant durant gairebé cinquanta anys: el llarg poema filosòfic i autobiogràfic conegut com El preludi, la seva obra mestra i una de les fites de la literatura universal.
