The prelude
Book • 1850
The Prelude is a seminal work of English Romantic literature, written in blank verse.
It was intended as the prologue to a larger epic poem, The Recluse, but Wordsworth completed only The Prelude and parts of The Excursion.
The poem narrates Wordsworth's spiritual and intellectual journey, using literal journeys as metaphors for his inner growth.
It emphasizes the importance of personal emotion, the natural world, and the interconnectedness of human experience and nature, key elements of Romanticism.
