The Simple Wordsworth Studies in the Poems 1979-1807 First published in 1960 this book studies Wordsworth’s ‘simple’ poems such as the Lyrical Ballads as products of a sophisticated and powerfully successful literary genius. The author aims to approach the poems as perhaps Wordsworth expected his first readers to; but as they have never been in fact. The result of this approach is to discover a Wordsworth far different to that which he has previously been presented as — the ‘Sage of Rydal’ at one extreme and a naïve perpetrator of poetical blunders at the other — and the author argues a far more exciting one. This book will be of interest to students of literature. | The Simple Wordsworth Studies in the Poems 1979-1807 GBP 35.99 1
