I think it is also worth mentioning the size and design of the edition here; it is compact but hardy and strong with an outer cover of card. It has been designed specifically to be taken out in nature; it is the kind of book that would accompany you on a long summer walk, to be taken out and read when surrounded by greenery and lakes. This is the perfect thing to take on a trip to the Lake District, clearly what the publishers had in mind.
 
You could shelve this book next to [[ennyson: To strive, to seek, to find by John Batchelor]].
So this is a great edition, displaying some of Wordsworth's best shorter works form across his literary career. It is a good taster if you're unfamiliar with the poet and what to read a broad range of his work. If you have an interest in learning more about Wordsworth then it is also worth checking out [[The Immortal Dinner: A famous evening of genius and laughter in literary London, 1817 by Penelope Hughes-Hallett]] and [[Words and Pictures: Writers, Artists and a Peculiarly British Tradition by Jenny Uglow]]. You might also appreciate [[Byron's Women by Alexander Larman]] and [[Jane and Dorothy: A True Tale of Sense and Sensibility by Marian Veevers]].
