    Good but not perfect edition of Wordsworth
  

*by R***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 7, 2014*

I ordered this because wanted a sturdier, fuller edition of Wordsworth to replace the thin-ish yellowing paperback selection of his verse that I already had.Overall I'm content with the Modern Library selection, binding and typesetting--- very readable, the cloth cover feels comfortable in the hand, and the volume, while large, is not too heavy.The poems are arranged chronologically by date of first composition (n.b., not revision: We get the 1850 version of the Prelude, but it appears alongside the verse of 1805, when he first completed it). There are no notes at all. Some would have been useful--- e.g., to inform us where poems first appeared (the Lyrical Ballads just appear alongside everything else), or which version of a poem we were reading. The general editorial strategy seems to have been always to include the latest version of the poem: As mentioned, we get the 1850 Prelude (would have been nice if the edition had made this clear), and we also get the revised version of "The Thorn" (W, unfortunately, was shamed into revising the widely mocked lines, "I've measured it from side to side: / 'Tis three feet long, and two feet wide.")Wordsworth's famous poems all seem to be here. I would have liked to see some of the "Poems on the Naming of Places" included, but you do have to have to leave something out.There's a typo in book 4 of the Prelude, line 24: Instead of "Yon azure smoke betrays the lurking town," it reads "You azure smoke ..." I also noted a missing quote mark in, I think, one of the Matthew poems, but I can't find it now.Overall, this is a solid edition of Wordsworth's verse which I expect will hold up well over the years.

Great collection indeed.

    Which Prelude used (1850) is not clearly indicated.
  

*by B***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 27, 2019*

Nice physical book and most of the poems are here, but to me it is kind of unforgivable that the editor did not indicate that the version of the Prelude is the 1850 one. This is a significant oversight. That gives it four stars. I am still looking for a really good one-volume of his poetry, one that includes the entire Prelude of 1805. The Everyman collection has selections, as do most of the collections. I guess I am asking for too much since the Prelude is a book in itself. A two-volume set like the Library of America books would be great, with one of the Prelude of 1850 before Wordsworth had a lobotomy and one volume with the complete poems.  I have the Selincourt edition, which is really great for his brilliant comments. A must have, and you can buy a newly-published copy in paperback from Oxford but the print is not crisp and it has those super-white pages that for me make the reading uncomfortable. If you want good font get a used copy at Abebooks or somewhere, the Oxford 1933 edition.  There are many solid ones out there.
