Book Reviews of William Wordsworth - The Major Works: including The Prelude (Oxford World's Classics)
Book Review: A Life Changing Experience
Summary: 5 Stars
William Wordsworth is another favourite of mine.
As others have wisely noted he had the great misfortune to live a very long life and fulfil those very fears in his early best work that his poetic vision was fading as he was ageing. He became the thing he had despised.
I remember first coming upon him as an adolescent and I was just stunned by the beauty and simplicity of his verse in its expressions of the beauty of nature and how the philosophical mind engaged with nature. I was in tune with his sad decline of the sublime vision of childhood and the possibilities of re-discovering that vision in the workings of nature `recollected in tranquillity'. My God, he changed me!
Then, when you've read and re-read the Intimations of Immortality and Tintern Abbey you discover the Lucy poems!
Of course Wordsworth is going to feature heavily in my novel `A Song for Jo' . He has an influence on the intellectual and emotional development of the two main characters, Jo and Chris, who are college students studying English. Other great literature from Keats, Emily Bronte and Shakespeare (and more) is worked into the narrative. It is a love story with a difference!
People of all ages and sex have enjoyed it.
