Description
The Prelude 1799, 1805, 1950 by William Wordsworth This volume presents Wordsworth's great poem in all three of its forms, offering a unique opportunity to observe a poet's creative process over a long life. The editors have worked with rare manuscripts to provide an accurate reading version of 1799, as well as newly edited texts of 1805 and 1850, free from unwarranted alterations. The Prelude is accompanied by additional materials, including transcriptions of Wordsworth's earliest drafts and other important passages in manuscript. The texts are fully annotated, with notes arranged to allow each version to be read independently. A chronological table and footnotes provide context for the biographical and historical allusions in the poem. For a thorough study of The Prelude and its background, the book includes a concise history of the texts, explanations of the transcription principles, and references to the poem in other works.
