Description: This authoritative edition was formerly published in the acclaimed Oxford Authors series under the general editorship of Frank Kermode. It brings together a unique combination of Wordsworth's poetry and prose - all the major poems complemented by important letters prefaces and essays - to give the essence of his work and thinking. William Wordsworth (1770 - 1850) has long been one of the best - known and best - loved English poets. The Lyrical Ballads written with Coleridge is a landmark in the history of English romantic poetry. His celebration of nature and of the beauty and poetry in the commonplace embody a unified and coherent vision that was profoundly innovative.
