Recluse e-bog

"e;The Recluse"e; is part one of an unfinished philosophical poem by William Wordsworth. It was intended to be a long three-part epic but, although planned in his late 20s, Wordsworth went to his grave at 80 years old having written to some completion only "e;The Prelude"e; and the second part "e;The Excursion"e;, and leaving no more than fragments of the rest. "e;The Recluse"e; was to be Wordsworth 's three-part masterpiece, but tragically remains uncompleted. We are republishing this short piece with introductory biographical excerpts from Leigh Hunt, Anna Marie Hall and Thomas Carlyle. This little book constitutes a must-read for poetry lovers and is not to be missed by those with an interest in the life and work of this celebrated English Romantic poet. William Wordsworth (1770-1850) was an English Romantic poet famous for helping to usher in the Romantic Age in English literature with the publication of "e;Lyrical Ballads"e; (1798), which he co-wrote with Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Wordsworth was poet laureate of Britain between 1843 until his death in 1850. Other notable works by this author include: "e;The Tables Turned"e;, "e;The Thorn"e;, and "e;Lines Composed A Few Miles above Tintern Abbey"e;.
