{"product_id":"the-excursion-and-the-recluse-william-wordsworth-9781847603432","title":"The Excursion and The Recluse","description":"In 1798, Coleridge persuaded Wordsworth that it was his destiny to write the first truly philosophical poem, a project Wordsworth dubbed 'The Recluse, or Views of Nature, Man and Society'. It was, as Wordsworth eventually conceived it, to be a poem in three Parts, each of many books. This is the first ever edition of all the poetry intended to form part of the great work. It includes two poems already written in 1798, 'The Old Cumberland Beggar' and 'A Night Piece'; 'Home at Grasmere' (1806), designated 'The Recluse, Part First, Book First'; four other short poems written for 'The Recluse' in 1808 and 1826; and 'The Recluse, Part Second', otherwise known as 'The Excursion' in the text of 1814. (This is the only reading edition of the original text of 'The Excursion'.) The texts included are selected from 'The Poems of William Wordsworth: Collected Reading Texts from the Cornell Wordsworth', edited by Jared Curtis and first published by Humanities-Ebooks in 2009.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Wordsworth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1847603432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781847603432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Humanities-eBooks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/11\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 380\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.78d","brand":"William Wordsworth","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48459650433279,"sku":"9781847603432","price":32.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_252ed1c5-8f0b-4094-8f77-9c9e0a310575.jpg?v=1777411029","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-excursion-and-the-recluse-william-wordsworth-9781847603432","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
