A pioneering poet of the Romantic movement, William Wordsworth was made Poet Laureate in 1843 for his lyrical innovation. Part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition has an introduction by Peter Harness. Selected Poems contains some of Wordsworth’s most acclaimed and influential works including an extract from his magnus opus, The Prelude, alongside shorter poems such as ‘I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud’, ‘To a Skylark’ and ‘Tintern Abbey’. Wordsworth’s poems, more often than not written at his home in Grasmere in the beautiful English Lake District, are lyrical evocations of nature and divinity. They have a force and clarity of language akin to everyday speech which was revolutionary at the time.

Edgar Allan Poe

Designed to appeal to the book lover, the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautifully bound pocket-sized gift editions of much loved classic titles. Bound in real cloth, printed on high quality paper, and featuring ribbon markers and gilt edges, Macmillan Collector's Library are books to love and treasure. This companion volume to the Tales of Mystery and Imagination contains Edgar Allan Poe’s best-known poetry, and a selection of his very best stories (many of which originate in his 1840s Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque), along with his finest tales from the last decade of his tragically short life. Many of these stories and poems tell of the familiar Poe themes of murder, obsession and love, but this volume also contains many overlooked tales of the fantastic, black comedies, parodies and hoaxes, such as ‘The Unparalleled Adventure of Hans Pfall’, ‘Mesmeric Revolution’, ‘Hop-Frog’, and ‘The Imp of the Perverse’. With an afterword by David Pinching. Included in this edition: The Tales Metzengerstein The Visionary or the Assignation Morella King Pest The Unparalleled Adventure of One Hans Pfaall Berenice Mystification How to Write a Blackwood Article A Predicament The Man that was Used Up William Wilson Eleonora The Island of the Fay The Balloon Hoax The System of Dr Tarr and Professor Fether Mesmeric Revelation A Tale of the Ragged Mountains The Spectacles The Imp of the Perverse The Sphinx The Domain of Arnheim or The Landscape Garden Von Kempelen and His Discovery X-ing a Paragrab Hop-Frog The Poems The Raven Lenore Hymn A Valentine The Coliseum To Helen To — Ulalume The Bells An Enigma Annabel Lee To My Mother The Haunted Palace The Conqueror Worm To Frances S.
