{"product_id":"the-prelude-and-other-poems","title":"The Prelude and Other Poems","description":"\"Though absent long,\nThese forms of beauty have not been to me,\nAs is a landscape to a blind man's eye:\nBut oft, in lonely rooms, and mid the din\nOf towns in cities, I have owed to them,\nIn hours of weariness, sensations sweet,\nFelt in the blood, and felt along the heart\"\n\n\nWilliam Wordsworth's verse was the embodiment of the Romantic age, with its evocation of a unifying spirit running through all things. This collection brings together a rich and diverse selection of his works, from the epic autobiographical masterpiece The Prelude to much-loved shorter poems such as 'I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud' and 'She Was a Phantom of Delight'. \n\nAlongside his more personal and introspective compositions, poems such as 'Lines Written a Few Miles above Tintern Abbey', 'She Dwelt among the Untrodden Ways' and 'The Idiot Boy' demonstrate, in an era of political and social ferment, the manner in which Wordsworth, together with Samuel Taylor Coleridge, forged a revolutionary new poetic style through the publication of Lyrical Ballads - one that embraced the vernacular and subjects previously deemed unworthy of poetry - and thus changed the literary landscape of England for ever.","brand":"Wordsworth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40303940337842,"sku":"1847497500","price":210.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/9191\/8002\/products\/106386_611b5709d89084.67584167_9781847497505.jpg?v=1655286035","url":"https:\/\/www.wordsworth.co.za\/products\/the-prelude-and-other-poems","provider":"Wordsworth Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
