Vivid and personal, William Wordsworth’s lyrical works deal with such topics as morality, spirituality, grief, and appreciation of nature. Wordsworth was a central figure of English Romanticism and much of his poetry was inspired by the beautiful setting of the Lake District, where he lived most of his life. This collection gathers around fifty of his best-loved odes, ballads and sonnets, including ‘I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud’, ‘Ode: Intimations on Immortality’, ‘The World Is Too Much with Us’ and ‘My Heart Leaps up When I Behold’.
