Description

This three‑volume set brings together for the first time the full range of a celebrated poet’s prose, gathering political pamphlets, ethical treatises, and a wealth of personal correspondence. Readers will hear the author’s passionate defense of the French Revolution, his reflections on legislative reform, and vivid debates on education and social welfare, all presented with the careful notes of a nineteenth‑century editor.

The collection also includes rare, previously unpublished letters that reveal a thoughtful mind wrestling with the challenges of his age, from appeals to freeholders in Westmoreland to heartfelt advice for the young. Illustrated footnotes and contextual commentary help modern listeners situate these writings within the broader cultural and historical currents of the early nineteenth century, making the material both accessible and compelling.

About the author

William Wordsworth

William Wordsworth

1770–1850

A leading voice of English Romantic poetry, he helped change the way poems sounded by turning to everyday speech, memory, and the natural world. His work remains beloved for its quiet power, especially in poems shaped by the landscapes of the Lake District.
