Customer Reviews

long live Romanticism!

This book is an excellent introduction to Wordsworth, a much-loved yet often-disparaged poet. As a fan of Romanticism, I adore Wordsworth and have dog-eared and battered this wonderful volume to death. Even cynics will be moved by Wordsworth's praise of the divine spirit that breathes in Nature and inspires men with her succoring benevolence. Don't miss the favorites "The Prelude" and "Titurn Abby" and the lesser-known "A Night-Piece," "Her Eyes are Wild," and "Nutting."
