William Wordsworth

William Wordsworth was born in 1770 at Cockermouth in the Lake District and educated at Cambridge. As a young man he was fired with enthusiasm for the French Revolution but the year he spent in France after graduating left him disillusioned with radical politics. He turned more seriously to literature and, in collaboration with his friend Coleridge, produced Lyrical Ballads (1798). His return to the Lake District in 1799 marked the beginning of his most productive period as a poet, during which he wrote his most famous long poem, The Prelude (1805). Stephen Gill a Professor of English Literature at Oxford University and a Fellow of Lincoln College, Oxford. He holds degrees from Oxford and Edinburgh Universities and is a long-serving member of the Wordsworth Trust. He has written William Wordsworth: A Life (1989) and Wordsworth and the Victorians (1998).

Samenvatting

'Wordsworth & Coleridge: Lyrical Ballads and Other Poems' epitomizes the revolutionary spirit of its era, encapsulating the transformative poetic ideals of Romanticism. This anthology not only coalesces pivotal works from the inaugural publication of 'Lyrical Ballads', which originally sparked a redefinition of poetic norms, but also includes subsequent lyrical explorations by the two poets. The collection showcases a spectrum of emotional and natural themes through an impressive diversity of verse forms and stylistic approaches, from the serene beauty of nature to profound existential ruminations, emphasizing the experimental vibrancy that characterize these poets' contributions to literary history. The anthology's reach across themes like individualism, intuition over reason, the sublime in nature, and an idealized pastoral life, provides a foundational insight into Romantic literature. Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Wordsworth, both pivotal figures in the Romantic movement, bring a rich interplay of philosophical thought and poetic form to this collection. Rooted deeply in personal experiences and the landscapes that surrounded them, their works not only reflect on human emotion and the natural world but also engage with contemporary social and political thought, encapsulating the zeitgeist of 18th-century Europe. Their collaboration molded the trajectory of English literature and continues to influence poetic philosophies today. Ideal for scholars, students, and enthusiasts of English literature, this collection offers a unique portal to the era of Romanticism. Readers will gain a comprehensive understanding of the period's aesthetic and thematic preoccupations through the innovative and intricate tapestry of the poets' intertwined and individual works. This anthology is a testament to the enduring power of collaborative genius and a must-have for those wishing to delve deep into the rich interplay of history, philosophy, and poetic expression that defines the Romantic movement.
