Synopsis

A new edition of a Wordsworth classic presents a reflective, nature‑driven poem that blends verse with momentary scenes from a life lived among mountains and people. The work invites readers to consider how memory, moral insight, and everyday work shape our sense of purpose.

In this edition, the poem is framed by a preface that explains its scope and its place within a larger work about nature, society, and the inner life. Through sections that glimpse village life, solitary dwellings, and encounters with ordinary people, the book explores how perspective can deepen when one steps away from the bustle of modern life and turns to the countryside.

• Delve into themes of solitude, memory, and the moral lessons found in daily life.


• Witness vivid scenes of rural living, mountain landscapes, and the human bonds that sustain them.


• Explore reflections on epitaphs, memory, and how we remember the dead.


• Experience a blend of narrative, drama, and lyric poetry that invites contemplation.

Ideal for readers who enjoy meditative verse, nature‑driven philosophy, and Wordsworth’s approach to life’s quieter moments.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from The Complete Poetical Works of William Wordsworth

Oft, through thy fair domains, illustrious Peer!
In youth I roamed, on youthful pleasures bent;
And mused in rocky cell or sylvan tent
Beside swirt-flowing Lowther's current clear.
- Now, by thy care befriended, I appear
Before thee, Lonsdale, and this Work present
A token (may it prove a monument)
Of high respect and gratitude sincere.
Gladly would I have waited till my task
Had reached its close; but Life is insecure,
And Hope full oft fallacious as a dream:
Therefore, for what is here produced, I ask
Thy favor; trusting that thou wilt not deem
The offering, though imperfect, premature.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
