Summary:

The three-volume edition of Wordsworth's poems is the most comprehensive edition now in print and contains reading texts chosen from the 21 volumes of the Cornell Wordsworth. It is without a doubt the most pleasurable way to read Wordsworth entire, and in modern texts. Most of the texts are from the first printed editions, some from the first complete manuscript. Volume 1 includes his earliest work, composed while a school boy and during and after his time at university, and in Somerset and Grasmere: The Vale of Esthwaite , and other juvenile poems, An Evening Walk , Descriptive Sketches , Adventures on Salisbury Plain, The Borderers (the early text, not the one printed in 1842), The Ruined Cottage , Lyrical Ballads (1798 and 1800), the Two-part Prelude, Peter Bell , Home at Grasmere and Poems, in Two Volumes . The editor, Jared Curtis, is Professor Emeritus of English at Simon Fraser University, also edited 'Poems, in Two Volumes' and Other Poems, 1800-1807, Last Poems, 1821-1850, and was co-editor with Carol Landon of Early Poems and Fragments, 1785-1797 , all in the Cornell Wordsworth. This title is also available as a searchable PDF ebook, from Humanities-Ebooks.co.uk or to Libraries from several aggregatirs including Ingram Digital.
