The reason for signaling out Wordsworth as the person in whom to study the mind of a poet is that The Prelude reveals with unusual fullness a mind that is fundamentally poetic. Even its peculiarities, its numerous limitations, and its unusual emphases are in the main those of a poet. Besides, poetry - not, as with many other writers, religious or social problems, humanitarianism, science, politics, economics, metaphysics, or literary criticism -was the chief concern of his creative years. Further, the sheer amount of verse, criticism, letters, and journals Wordsworth produced makes him an excellent choice for a study of this kind. from the publisher UR - https://muse.jhu.edu/book/73000/ ER -
