William Wordsworth is usually remembered as the quintessential Victorian Poet Laureate: a dull, worthy, establishment figure, with impeccable middle class, Tory, Anglican credentials, whose moralistic poetry has been required reading for generations of yawning school children. Yet there is so much more to Wordsworth than Daffodils and The Prelude. This selection of letters and autobiographical fragments introduces us to the real Wordsworth: the rebellious schoolboy, who vandalised his family portraits, became a supporter of the French Revolution and fathered an illegitimate daughter in France; the radical poet whose flouting of the conventions of the day attracted the ridicule of the reviewers and forced him to endure thirty years of rejection, obscurity and financial hardship before achieving belated critical and popular success; the devoted brother, husband and father who could still write passionate love letters to his wife after ten years of marriage and the birth of five children; and, finally, the revered patriarch whose poetry formed the hearts and minds of a generation, whose opinions were sought by writers, politicians, churchmen and educationalists throughout the English speaking world, but who thought nothing of vaulting walls, skating on the Lakes or climbing Helvellyn even in his seventies.

William Wordsworth (1770-1850) was one of the great English poets and a leader of the romantic movement, becoming Poet Laureate in 1842. His poetry was deeply influenced by his love of nature, especially by the landscape of the Lake District, where he spent most of his mature life. Patricia Machin has selected nineteen of his poems, including "I wandered Lonely as a Cloud", "Ode - Intimations of Immortality", "She was a Phantom", and many more, interpreting them with her beautiful paintings. Each poem is introduced with useful information and background notes.

Exploring the aftermath of the French Revolution, the poem features three main characters: the Solitary, who reflects on his experiences; the Pastor, a focal point of the narrative; and the Wanderer.

An annotated parallel-text edition of Wordsworth's autobiographical poem in blank verse.

A continuous text made up of extracts from Dorothy Wordsworth's Journal and a selection of her brother's poems. Dorothy Wordsworth kept her Journal 'because I shall give William pleasure by it'. In doing so, she never dreamt that she was giving future readers not only the chance to enjoy her fresh and sensitive delight in the beauties that surrounded her at Grasmere but also a rare opportunity to observe 'the progress of a poet's mind'.Colette Clark's skilful and perceptive arrangement of Dorothy's entries alongside William's poems throws a unique light on his creative process, and shows how the interdependence of brother and sister was a vital part in the writing of many of his great poems. By reading these poems in relation to the Journal it is possible to trace the processes by which they were committed to paper and so achieve a fuller understanding of them.A writer in her own right, Dorothy kept her Journal sparse in personal and emotional detail. Yet there is, nevertheless, a deep emotional undercurrent running beneath the surface which only falters when William marries Mary Hutchinson. Never again was Dorothy to achieve the freedom, spontaneity and the limpidly beautiful prose with which she infused and irradiated the Grasmere Journals.

Wordsworth's verse declares a belief in the power of poetry to teach by appealing to the imagination and to the 'grand elementary principle of pleasure, by which man knows, and feels, and lives, and moves'. His unique relationship with the poet and political activist Samuel Taylor Coleridge, formed in the political and social ferment of the 1790s, produced a revolution in literature, resulting in the joint volume, Lyrical Ballads (1798-1805) - a landmark in the history of English Romanticism. This selection, chosen from the Oxford Authors critical edition, includes all Wordsworth's finest lyrics, and a large sample of The Prelude (1805), his extraordinary autobiographical poem in blank verse and the first truly great achievement of a new era in English poetry

Antologie z díla anglických raných romantiků. Kostru básnického výboru tvoří skladby Preludium W. Wordswortha a Christabel S. T. Coleridge; jejich působivé ladění podtrhuje další přírodní a intimní lyrika obou autorů. Platický obraz tvorby trojice vzájemně spřízněných romantiků dotváří poezie R. Southeye. Útlá avšak obsažná edice mimo jiné vypovídá o trpkých osudech překladatele V. Renče – vychází čtyřicet let potom, co byl rukopis odevzdán do někdejšího československého nakladatelství Odeon.

První reprezentativní výbor z veršů u nás opomíjené osobnosti, která reprezentuje první generaci anglického romantismu.

Výber z tvorby básnikov anglickej tzv. jazernej školy.

Verše anglických básníků Wordswortha, Keatse a Shelleyho vybrala a přeložila Jarmila Urbánková, která také napsala úvod, medailonky a poznámky.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) a William Wordsworth (1770-1850) jsou dva přední představitelé generace anglické romantické poezie. Takzvaní Jezerní básníci si rozdělili témata své tvorby následujícím způsobem: Coleridge se ujal námětů exotických a „alespoň částečně nadpřirozených“, kdežto Wordsworthovi připadly příběhy ze života prostých lidí, vypovídající o schopnosti přírody „burcovat mysl z letargie zvyku“. Toto vydání přináší různorodý výběr z díla obou básníků v překladu Zdeňka Hrona. Z pera Coleridgeova jsou to především magická veledíla anglického romantismu Píseň o starém námořníkovi, Christabel, a Kublajchan, která tvoří originální jádro jeho básnického odkazu a v Čechách již zdomácněla. Oproti tomu Wordsworth u nás pro samé „revolučně romantické“ zaslepení donedávna mnoho zájmu nevzbuzoval. Četba jeho „diskurzivních veršů“, oné „podzemní hudby“, přitom může být podnětná jak pro čtenáře, tak i pro tvůrce poezie. Probouzí vskutku básnické myšlení zkoumající vlivy krajiny a přírodních jevů na vytváření lidské povahy a básnické obraznosti. Nečekaným půvabem laskají i jeho četné sonety.

Pastýřskou báseň W. Wordsworthe Michael, poému J. Słowackého Otec morem nakažených v El-Arish a Knihu lásky Ch. Vildraca přeložil a přebásnil Vladimír Holan. Tři významné činy Holanova poválečného překladatelského úsilí nás seznamují s tvorbou autorů, vnitřně spřízněnou s dílem Holanovým. Zasahují do tří jazykových oblastí, anglické, polské a francouzské. Zájem o epické skladby typu básně Michael nebo eposu Słowackého je pochopitelný u autora Příběhů. A francouzská poezie vždy patřila k nejčastějším překladatelským zájmům básníka.
