William Wordsworth, M. H. Abrams, Stephen Gill, Et Al.
This volume is the first to present Wordsworth's great poem in all
three of its forms. It reprints, on facing pages, the version of The Prelude that was completed in 1805, together with the much-revised work published after the poets death in 1850. In addition, the editors include the two-part version of the poem, composed in 1798-99.
