威廉·华兹华斯是一位英国浪漫主义诗人，他一生创作过很多经典的诗歌作品，其中广为流传的就是The Prelude《序曲》了。这首长诗是华兹华斯的自传体诗作，标志着一种全新的诗歌风格的诞生，使其成为浪漫主义诗歌的代表作。

本书The Prelude and Other Poems《威廉华兹华斯：序曲及其他诗歌选集》收录了威廉·华兹华斯经典的诗歌作品，其中包括The Prelude《序曲》、'I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud《我好似一朵流云独自漫游》、She Was a Phantom of Delight《她是个快乐的精灵》、The Idiot Boy《傻孩子》等。

“Though absent long,
These forms of beauty have not been to me,
As is a landscape to a blind man's eye:
But oft, in lonely rooms, and mid the din
Of towns in cities, I have owed to them,
In hours of weariness, sensations sweet,
Felt in the blood, and felt along the heart”

William Wordsworth's verse was the embodiment of the Romantic age, with its evocation of a unifying spirit running through all things. This collection brings together a rich and diverse selection of his works, from the epic autobiographical masterpiece The Prelude to much-loved shorter poems such as 'I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud' and 'She Was a Phantom of Delight'.

Alongside his more personal and introspective compositions, poems such as 'Lines Written a Few Miles above Tintern Abbey', 'She Dwelt among the Untrodden Ways' and 'The Idiot Boy' demonstrate, in an era of political and social ferment, the manner in which Wordsworth, together with Samuel Taylor Coleridge, forged a revolutionary new poetic style through the publication of Lyrical Ballads – one that embraced the vernacular and subjects previously deemed unworthy of poetry – and thus changed the literary landscape of England for ever.

Review
“It is as if there were nothing but himself and the universe. He lives in the busy solitude of his own heart.” ―William Hazlitt
威廉·华兹华斯(William Wordsworth，1770-1850年)，英国浪漫主义诗人，曾当上桂冠诗人。其诗歌理论动摇了英国古典主义诗学的统治，有力地推动了英国诗歌的革新和浪漫主义运动的发展。他是文艺复兴运动以来重要的英语诗人之一，其诗句“朴素生活，高尚思考(plain living and high thinking)”被作为牛津大学基布尔学院的格言。

Perhaps the most enduringly popular figure of the Romantic age, William Wordsworth(1770–1850) continues to be considered one of the world's great poets, with a career spanning more than half a century that saw him rising from the radical young wanderer, experiencing the French Revolution at first hand, to the august Poet Laureate.
