{"product_id":"the-excursion-being-a-william-wordsworth-9781528716383","title":"The Excursion - Being a Portion of 'The Recluse', a Poem","description":"First published in 1814, \"The Excursion\" is the second and only completed part of Wordsworth's three-part work \"The Recluse\". It is a long poem that revolves around three central figures: the Solitary, who has lived through the horrors and hopes of the French Revolution; the Pastor, to whom a third of the poem is dedicated; and the Wanderer. \"The Excursion\" enjoyed popularity in the nineteenth century and is highly recommended for fans and collectors of Wordsworth's fantastic work. Included in this edition is an introductory excerpt from \"Reminiscences\" (1881) by Thomas Carlyle. William Wordsworth (1770-1850) was an English Romantic poet famous for helping to usher in the Romantic Age in English literature with the publication of \"Lyrical Ballads\" (1798), which he co-wrote with Samuel Taylor Coleridge. His best known work is perhaps \"The Prelude\", a semi-autobiographical poem from his early years which was changed and expanded many times throughout his life. He was poet laureate of Britain between 1843 until his death in 1850. Other notable works by this author include: \"The Tables Turned\", \"The Thorn\", and \"Lines Composed A Few Miles above Tintern Abbey\".\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Wordsworth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1528716388\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781528716383\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ragged Hand - Read \u0026amp; Co.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/05\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.64d","brand":"William Wordsworth","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43983250063615,"sku":"9781528716383","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_859935f7-5bce-4736-94ef-36016ac58cdd.jpg?v=1683265529","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-excursion-being-a-william-wordsworth-9781528716383","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
