Poems of William Wordsworth, The: Collected Reading Texts from The Cornell Wordsworth, Volume II

about

This magnificent edition of The Poems of William Wordsworth presents Wordsworth's verse in reading texts chosen from those offered in the twenty-one volumes of the Cornell Wordsworth. The edition is also available in three handsome paperbacks which have no rival as the most enjoyable way to read a truly Collected Wordsworth in the latest scholarly texts.

The 78-page Sample Ebook is identical for all three volumes and includes the 'Ode: Intimations of Immortality', 300 lines from the 1805 Prelude, and some late sonnets, together with the Complete Index to all three volumes.

Here is the poetry in the form the poet gave it when first completed, either in its manuscript state or in a published book. Each volume includes Wordsworth's own notes published with his poems during his lifetime and a few editorial explanations where appropriate.

In the second volume are the thirteen-book Prelude, Benjamin the Waggoner, The Tuft of Primroses and other poems composed for the unfinished Recluse, The Excursion, The White Doe, and translations from Chaucer and Virgil.
