Publisher’s opinion
« "De tous les grands poètes que nous a donnés l'Angleterre, William Wordsworth a toujours été mon favori. Peut-être ai-je cru reconnaître d'emblée, dans son œuvre, le genre d'accomplissement vers lequel, en vain, moi-même je tendais : l'harmonie égale du vers épousant - dans l'élégie, le récit ou la romance - le rythme et la douceur ou la force de l'émotion ; la sereine vérité d'un accord avec la nature ; la note de haute et grave sentimentalité lyrique qui, jusque dans les poèmes les plus délicats, fait résonner sans le moindre effet une profondeur métaphysique." C'est ainsi que débute la relation, par Jacques Réda, d'une visite à "la région natale de ce poète, celle-là même où ensuite il a vécu, écrit la plus grande partie de son œuvre en osmose avec un paysage dont il n'a pas été le seul ni le premier à vanter la beauté, mais qui lui doit d'appartenir aux espaces les plus attirants de notre géographie poétique." » François-René Daillie.
Biography
William Wordsworth (7 April 1770 – 23 April 1850) was an English Romantic poet who, with Samuel Taylor Coleridge, helped to launch the Romantic Age in English literature with their joint publication Lyrical Ballads (1798). Wordsworth's magnum opus is generally considered to be The Prelude, a semi-autobiographical poem of his early years that he revised and expanded a number of times. It was posthumously titled and published by his wife in the year of his death, before which it was generally known as "the poem to Coleridge". Wordsworth was Poet Laureate from 1843 until his death from pleurisy on 23 April 1850.
