Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Wordsworth: An Anthology The purpose of this volume is more than to present Wordsworth´s work in little, with a kindly appreciative essay. The selection of the poems and the choice of the essay have been guided by the conviction that together they constitute an unusually clear and grateful introduction to the serious study of poetry. For this purpose I have ventured to divide the poems into sections of related kinds, and to present them in the order of readiest approach. Such an arrangement naturally invites criticism; but that it is not illogical in the case of Wordsworth may be seen in the fact that with maturer purposes in view, both Wordsworth and Arnold adopted classification of a like sort. The order of the poems in each grouping is almost strictly that of the dates of composition (so far as they are known), with a few exceptions where the relations of certain pieces make a different sequence desirable. The chronology used is that of Mr. Hutchinson´s valuable Oxford Edition. The text is eclectic. In the main, preference has been given to the earlier readings of the early poems. Yet if Wordsworth is to be seen at his best, it is quite as necessary to use a later version of Simon Lee as to use the first of Laodamia. It is believed that the selection is sufficiently large and varied to allow wide choice of material for study. In the appendix I have risked adverse judgment as to the wisdom of offering illustrations of Wordsworth´s writing in its unhappier and less effective aspects. It seems to me. however, that if Wordsworth´s poetry may be taken - and I think it may - as a touchstone of poetic quality, there is a substantial something to be gained by showing where and how it may fail.
