Outlining a series of contexts – biographical, historical and literary – as well as critical approaches to Wordsworth, this Introduction offers students ways to understand and enjoy Wordsworth’s poetry and his role in the development of Romanticism in Britain. Emma Mason offers a completely up-to-date summary of criticism on Wordsworth from the Romantics to the present, and an annotated guide to further reading. With definitions of technical terms and close readings of individual poems, Wordsworth’s experiments with form are fully explained. This concise book is the ideal starting point for studying Lyrical Ballads, The Prelude and the major poems, as well as Wordsworth’s lesser-known writings.  \nEmma Mason is Senior Lecturer in English at the University of Warwick.  \nThe Cambridge Introduction to  \nWilliam Wordsworth  \nEMMa MaSOn  \nCAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS  \nCambridge, New York, Melbourne, Madrid, Cape Town, Singapore, São Paulo, Delhi, Dubai, Tokyo  \nCambridge University Press  \nThe Edinburgh Building, Cambridge CB2 8RU, UK  \nPublished in the United States of America by Cambridge University Press, New York  \n[www.cambridge.org](www.cambridge.org)  \nInformation on this [title: www.cambridge.org/9780521896689](title: www.cambridge.org/9780521896689)[ ](title: www.cambridge.org/9780521896689)© Emma Mason 2010  \nThis publication is in copyright.
