Sobre este artículo
New York: W. W. Norton & Company, 1979. Book. New. Soft cover. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Large trade paperback, new in publisher's shrink-wrap. 684 pages (?). Edited by Jonathan Wordsworth, M. H Abrams and Stephen Gill. Contains preface, chronological table, critical review of the 1850 revision and seven scholarly critical essays. "This book is the first to present Wordsworth's great poem in all three of its separate forms. It reprints, on facing pages, the version of The Prelude that was completed in 1805, together with the much-revised work published after the poet's death in 1850. In addition, the editors include the two-part version of the poem, composed in 1798-99. Each of these poems has its distinctive qualities and values; to read them together provides an incomparable chance to observe a great poet composing and recomposing, throughout a long life, his major work." from rear panel] The definitive critical study of Wordsworth's magnum opus. New. .
Sinopsis
First published in July 1850, shortly after Wordsworth's death, The Prelude was the culmination of over fifty years of creative work. The great Romantic poem of human consciousness, it takes as its theme 'the growth of a poet's mind': leading the reader back to Wordsworth's formative moments of childhood and youth, and detailing his experiences as a radical undergraduate in France at the time of the Revolution. Initially inspired by Coleridge's exhortation that Wordsworth write a work upon the French Revolution, The Prelude has ultimately become one of the finest examples of poetic autobiography ever written; a fascinating examination of the self that also presents a comprehensive view of the poet's own creative vision.
