The Poetical Works Of William Wordsworth.: Inscriptions.-Selections From Chaucer Modernised.-Poems Referring To The Period Of Old Age.-Epitaphs And Elegiac Pieces.-Ode: Intimations Of Immortality From Recollections Of Early Childhood.-The Prelude; Or, Growth Of A Poet's Mind by William Wordsworth. This volume gathers Wordsworth's varied verse: standalone inscriptions memorialising landscape and memory; modernised Chaucer translations; poems on aging and mortality; epitaphs drawn from Chiabrera; and the great autobiographical epic The Prelude. The selections foreground Wordsworth's lifelong interest in nature, memory, and the moral purposes of poetry, while the Prelude presents a sweeping self-portrait of his intellectual and spiritual growth—from childhood through schooling, Cambridge, dawn of fame, and his engagements with France and London. The Ode on Immortality addresses birth and memory; other pieces combine elegy, satire, and occasional pieces with meditative reflections on art, history, and national culture. The book thus offers a panorama of Wordsworth's mature poetics: nature as teacher, imagination as judge, and poetry as a way of knowing the self and the world.
