The Prelude (1805 Text) by William Wordsworth [Hardcover: Very Good]

Hardcover in Very Good condition: Some highlighting and handwritten pencil notes (328 pages)

Wordsworth's great autobiographical poem, subtitled "Growth of a poet's mind", was completed in 1805-6. During the rest of his life his interest in the work persisted, and the poem was several times revised, to be published soon after his death in 1850. Originally intended as the first part of a massive three-part poem, The prelude contains some of the greatest poetry Wordsworth wrote on those events and feelings of his youth which lie behind so much of his most powerful work.
