Wordworth, (Paperback)

<p><b>"Wordworth"</b> is a profound critical study by C.H. Herford that delves into the life and creative genius of William Wordsworth, a central figure of the English Romantic movement. This work provides a detailed examination of the poet's intellectual journey and his revolutionary contributions to the landscape of English verse. Herford explores how Wordsworth's intimate relationship with the natural world and his focus on the "spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings" redefined the purpose of poetry for generations to come.</p><p>The book traces the evolution of Wordsworth's thought, from his early revolutionary sympathies to his later years as a foundational voice of British literature. Herford offers insightful commentary on major works such as the "Lyrical Ballads" and "The Prelude," analyzing the philosophical and emotional depth that characterized the poet's legacy. By examining the social and historical context of the nineteenth century, Herford illustrates how the poet's dedication to the language of common men transformed literary tradition. This scholarly yet accessible analysis remains an invaluable resource for readers interested in Romanticism, nature poetry, and the enduring power of the human imagination.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
