Summary:
Alongside his more personal and introspective compositions, poems such as 'Lines Written a Few Miles above Tintern Abbey', 'She Dwelt among the Untrodden Ways' and 'The Idiot Boy' demonstrate, in an era of political and social ferment, the manner in which Wordsworth, together with Samuel Taylor Coleridge, forged a revolutionary new poetic style through the publication of Lyrical Ballads - one that embraced the vernacular and subjects previously deemed unworthy of poetry - and thus changed the literary landscape of England for ever. This edition is thoroughly edited and fully annotated.
