Summary "The Poetical Works of William Wordsworth — Volume 6 (of 8)" by William Wordsworth is a collection of poetry published in the late 19th century. This volume contains a selection of Wordsworth's works from the years 1814 to 1820, showcasing his thematic focus on nature, human emotion, and the profound connection between the two. Readers can expect to find insightful reflections on personal and national identities, drawing on historical figures and settings, illustrated through the poet’s unique lens of Romanticism. The opening of this collection introduces several poems, starting with "Laodamia," which explores themes of love, loss, and the transcendent nature of human emotion through the story of a faithful wife yearning for her slain husband. Wordsworth’s mastery of language is evident as he blends mythological elements with deep emotional resonance, setting a reflective tone that permeates the selection. Additionally, the beginnings of poems such as "The Brownie's Cell" and "Yarrow Visited" highlight Wordsworth's interest in Scottish landscapes and folklore, drawing the reader into a vibrant tapestry of the natural world, as well as his reflections on heritage and history. Through these verses, Wordsworth invites readers into his intimate thoughts and contemplations, setting the foundation for a deeply enriching literary experience.
