To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His poems contain a gallery of individual portraits, especially of subjects from the humbler walks of life, in London as well as in the Lake District and the southwestern counties of England. Although Wordsworth extended the boundaries of poet- ry to include all phases of childhood, his treatment is in harmony with that of poets from Prior to Crabbe. His poetry, with that of Blake, represents the fine flowering of the eighteenth-century attitude toward childhood. ^ There are, for instance, mani...fest suggestions of harmony between his lines on native fields and those that have been noted from Akenside to Southey. Sometimes, also, he echoes the very words of eighteenth-century poets, as in the third book of The Prelude, where his lines on the habits of youths at Cam- bridge University recall Tickell's passage on student life at Oxford, 1 Until a careful study of Wordsworth's sources has been made in the light of eighteenth-century influences, his poetic method can not be fully understood.
