Publisher Description

The Book of Nature - Wordsworth's Poetry on Nature is a sublime collection of the best nature poetry by poet-laureate William Wordsworth, housed in a convenient pocket-sized edition.

Along with many other Romantic poets of the time, the theme of nature features heavily in the work of Wordsworth - to him, it represented a living thing, a sublime teacher-god that contained all beauty and divine truth. Wordsworth expresses his view on the natural world through the poetry in this charming collection while articulating his relationship with nature and its essential connection with human beings.

Poems featured in this collection include:
    - Influence of Natural Objects
    - Lines Written in Early Spring
    - My Heart Leaps Up
    - Lines Composed a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey
    - To the Clouds

Carefully curated by Read & Co. Books, this collection of twenty-one poems also features an introductory excerpt on William Wordsworth by Thomas Carlyle from his 1881 work Reminiscences. The perfect gift for poetry readers and nature lovers alike, this beautiful pocket edition is a wonderful book of posey for those who love reading on the go.

The Book of Nature Reviews

3.0
“Since I'm from the Lake District, it seemed wrong not to read some of Wordsworth poems at some point, since many are inspired by the beauty of this location. Yet on top of the old language, I don't read a lot of poetry and at first I struggled to make sense of the poems. I found it helped to look up summaries of what each poem was about. After that, I enjoyed the imagery of what the writing conveyed. It's clear through all his poems that Wordsworth appreciated nature and found great joy in walking amongst it. Reading these poems made me open my eyes more to the world around me too and realise how lucky I am to live in a place where nature thrives.”
