In the desolate Scottish countryside, a solitary traveler stumbles upon a haunting discoverya place of burial, its secrets long forgotten. As he delves deeper into the enigmatic landscape, he encounters a cast of enigmatic characters, each with their own connection to the enigmatic site.Wordsworths evocative prose paints a vivid tapestry of mystery and melancholy, as the traveler navigates a labyrinth of ancient legends, hidden truths, and the weight of the past. A Place of Burial in the South of Scotland is a haunting and atmospheric tale that explores the enduring power of memory and the fragility of human existence.

In the desolate ruins of a Welsh castle, a solitary poet seeks solace and inspiration. William Wordsworths "Composed Among the Ruins of a Castle in North Wales" is a poignant meditation on the passage of time, the fragility of human existence, and the enduring power of nature. Through vivid imagery and introspective verse, Wordsworth explores the interplay between the past and present, the natural and the man-made, and the ephemeral and the eternal.

Los mejores poemas breves de William WordsworthWordsworth es el poeta romántico inglés por antonomasia. Junto a Coleridge, sentó las bases del movimiento que revolucionó la poesía inglesa del XIX y abrio un camino con el que todavia estan en deuda muchos poetas del siglo XX. A pesar de su importancia, la obra de este autor no ha conocido en nuestra lengua la difusion que le corresponde.Gonzalo Torne, con excelente criterio, ha llevado a cabo una seleccion de los grandes poemas breves de Wordsworth -algunos nunca hasta ahora traducidos al castellano-, entre los que se cuentan algunas de las obras maestras de la poesia universal, como La abadia de Tintern o Insinuaciones de inmortalidad en recuerdos de temprana infancia.La critica ha dicho: Como poeta, es un apocalipsis. [...] Es la mas peligrosa de estas fieras, porque viene con sigilo. Actua como una persona normal, o casi. Se insinua como hombre, no como dios. Y sin embargo, su megalomania humilla al propio Byron, su complejo de superioridad no necesita del opio de Coleridge, y de la belleza de Keats ni se ocupa: la verdad es El. [...] Esto no es poesia hecha por un hombre. Esto es un hombre hecho poesia. Artefacto de vida eterna para un sueño de inmortalidad. Ainhoa Saenz De Zaitegui, El Cultural El mas grande de la poesia romantica en lengua inglesa. Jordi Llovet, El PaisSu voz se alza en una hermosa descripcion del paisaje britanico, en una insistente reivindicacion de la mirada pura e inocente hacia la naturaleza. [...] Uno de los poetas mas influyentes de la literatura inglesa. Pilar Muñoz Aguilar, Diario de CordobaAunque su vision de la naturaleza fuera una ilusion, al registrarla alcanzo muchas experiencias en los rincones secretos de la naturaleza humana, hasta el punto de que muy pocas mentes sensibles dejaran de descubrir en sus poemas algo que responda a sus propias intuiciones.

One of the major poets of Romanticism, Wordsworth epitomized the spirit of his age with his celebration of the natural world and the spontanous expression of feeling. This volume contains a rich selection from the most creative phase of his life, including extracts from his masterpiece, The Prelude, and the best-loved of his shorter poems such as 'Composed Upon Westminster Bridge', 'Tintern Abbey', 'I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud', 'Lucy Gray', and 'Michael'.Together these poems demonstrate not only Wordsworth's astonishing range and power, but the sustained and coherent vision that informed his work.

Earth has not anything to show more fair: Dull would he be of soul who could pass by. A sight so touching in its majesty...Composed Upon Westminster Bridge, September 3, 1802.

El Prologo a las baladas liricas es uno de los textos que gozan de mayor notoriedad en la critica literaria. Escrito en 1800 ofrece una detallada explicacion de los tipos estiisticos que determinaron la composicion de los poemas que el mismo Wordsworth y Coleridge incluyran en la primera edicion de la obra. A traves de los años este documento ha sido considerado una especie de manifiesto que introdujo las innovaciones del romanticismo ingles y revoluciono el estilo poetico en el final del siglo XVIII.

La trascendencia de El Preludio para la poesía europea e incluso para el desarrollo de la consciencia occidental es incalculable. Obra a un mismo tiempo biográfica, histórica y mítica, El Preludio es una sinfonia de resonancias liricas, epicas, y filosoficas. Ningun otro poema de proporciones monumentales explora hasta tal pungo la subjetividad humana y contiene al Romanticismo de un modo mas completo.

"Selected Poetry of William Wordsworth" represents Wordsworth's prolific output, from the poems first published in "Lyrical Ballads" in 1798 that changed the face of English poetry to the late "Yarrow Revisited." Wordsworth's poetry is celebrated for its deep feeling, its use of ordinary speech, the love of nature it expresses, and its representation of commonplace things and events. As Matthew Arnold notes, "[Wordsworth's poetry] is great because of the extraordinary power with which [he] feels the joy offered to us in nature, the joy offered to us in the simple elementary affections and duties."
