Edited by the noted scholar Thomas Hutchinson, this substantial Oxford University Press edition brings together Wordsworth's most celebrated poetry, including his reflections on nature, memory, rural life, and the human spirit. Through works such as Tintern Abbey, The Prelude, and the famous Lucy poems, Wordsworth helped redefine English poetry by finding beauty and profound meaning in ordinary experience and the natural world.\n    \u003c\/font\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n     \u003cfont size=\"4\"\u003e\n      \u003cbr\u003e\n     \u003c\/font\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n     \u003cfont size=\"4\"\u003e\n      This 1926 Humphrey Milford edition was produced as a scholarly yet accessible text, combining authoritative editing with handsome presentation. Hutchinson's introductions and notes provide valuable context for readers, while the substantial volume serves as an excellent single-volume reference to Wordsworth's poetic achievement. Issued at a time when Wordsworth's reputation as one of England's greatest poets was firmly established, the book reflects the enduring importance of his work within both literary studies and education.\n     \u003c\/font\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cfont size=\"4\"\u003e\n     \u003cbr\u003e\n     Particularly appealing is the fine prize binding of red leather and gilt, bearing the crest of Geelong Grammar School and accompanied by the original prize plate awarded for Algebra at Christmas 1927. Such school prize books were traditionally presented to outstanding students and often survive as attractive reminders of academic life in early twentieth-century Australia. Combining literary significance, elegant craftsmanship, and a direct connection to one of Australia's most prestigious schools, this is a distinguished and highly collectible example of a classic Oxford edition.\n    \u003c\/font\u003e\n    \u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e\n     \"\n    \u003c\/span\u003e\n   \u003c\/div\u003e\n   \u003cdiv\u003e\n    \u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e\n     \u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003c\/span\u003e\n   \u003c\/div\u003e\n   \u003cdiv\u003e\n    \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003e\n     Light wear and fading to covers and spine as shown.
