Synopsis

The Excursion: A Poem is a lengthy narrative poem written by the English Romantic poet, William Wordsworth, and first published in 1814. The poem is part of Wordsworth's larger work, The Recluse, which he never completed. The Excursion explores themes of nature, spirituality, and the human condition through the eyes of various characters, including a wanderer, a pastor, and a philosopher.The poem is divided into nine books and follows the wanderer as he travels through the Lake District in England, encountering different people and engaging in philosophical discussions with them. Along the way, he reflects on his own life and experiences, as well as the beauty and power of nature.The Excursion is known for its lyrical descriptions of nature and its exploration of themes such as the relationship between humans and the natural world, the importance of imagination and memory, and the search for meaning in life. It is considered one of Wordsworth's most important works and a masterpiece of English poetry.The 1847 edition of The Excursion includes a preface by Wordsworth in which he discusses his poetic philosophy and the inspiration behind the poem.

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.
