About this title

Synopsis

In the third volume, which is in many ways the most valuable and surprising, as modern selections tend to skimp the later Wordsworth, are the shorter poems composed between 1807 and 1820, including the Waterloo odes, the fourteen-book Prelude in the much improved text published in 1850, all eight sonnet series and itinerary poems composed between 1820 and 1845, including The River Duddon, Ecclesiastical Sketches and Yarrow Revisited, poems from the Scottish and Italian tours, and Last Poems, the remaining poems composed between 1821 and 1851 which include numerous amusing album pieces.

Jared Curtis, Professor Emeritus of English at Simon Fraser University, is the editor of 'Poems, in Two Volumes' and Other Poems, 1800-1807, Last Poems, 1821-1850, and 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, exclusively from Humanities-Ebooks.co.uk and for libraries from IngramSpark.
