Poems in Two Volumes, Volume 2

About the book

"Poems in Two Volumes, Volume 2" by William Wordsworth is a poetry collection published in 1807. This landmark volume contains some of English Romanticism's most celebrated poems, including "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" and "Ode: Intimations of Immortality." Despite now being considered the peak of Wordsworth's creative power, the collection received harsh criticism from contemporaries like Lord Byron, who dismissed the language as "puerile." Wordsworth faced the reviews with stoic resolve.
