First published in July 1850, shortly after Wordsworth's death, The Prelude was the culmination of over fifty years of creative work. The great Romantic poem of human consciousness, it takes as its theme 'the growth of a poet's mind'- leading the reader back to Wordsworth's formative moments of childhood and youth, and detailing his experiences as a radical undergraduate in France at the time of the Revolution. Initially inspired by Coleridge's exhortation that Wordsworth write a work upon the French Revolution, The Prelude has ultimately become one of the finest examples of poetic autobiography ever written; a fascinating examination of the self that also presents a comprehensive view of the poet's own creative vision.

In wholesome separation the two natures,
The one that feels, the other that observes.
2.5 stars. This was a tandem read with ATJG. There were of bubbly moments of exhilaration but much too much clawing and climbing. Wordsworth embraces Nature embarks on a quest of Becoming.
Finding himself splattered and besmirched with stains of human folly, Wordsworth pursues the path which leads to an actualization-- one without an embrace of either shame or decadence . Not sure I find that interesting. After the mountain of Milton references, I thought homage is a generous act, though this struck me at times as a benediction. ( )
