A Truly Beautiful Poetry Classic: Wordsworth’s “The Prelude”

Lovingly rendered by two Harvard profs for Oxford University Press.  281 p.p. with over 130 color illustrations (and many other black and whites) by artists of scenes described in the famous poem.

Also worth checking out, his sister Dorothy’s journals:
