Through a close reading of the early poems, Paul Sheats traces Wordsworth’s poetic development from his schooldays through the publication of the epoch-making Lyrical Ballads. During these years, the author shows, Wordsworth elaborated and disciplined the central premises of English romanticism. Relying on the authoritative chronology provided by recent scholarship and on the poet’s manuscripts, Sheats examines the changing relation in Wordsworth’s work between the natural world, the human mind, and poetic style, and offers a fresh context for the interpretation and assessment of the mature poetry.
