The Prose Works of William Wordsworth For the First Time Collected, With Additions from Unpublished Manuscripts. In Three Volumes. Jonathan Ingram, Chuck Greif and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "The Prose Works of William Wordsworth" by William Wordsworth is a collection of the author's previously unpublished writings, compiled and edited by Alexander B. Grosart, and published in the late 19th century. This collection focuses on Wordsworth's thoughts on political and ethical matters, emphasizing his reflections on the French Revolution and his perspectives on various social issues. Overall, the collection aims to shed light on the intellectual and societal contributions of Wordsworth beyond his poetry. At the start of this collection, Grosart presents a dedication to Queen Victoria and outlines the significance of Wordsworth's prose, which has been relatively overlooked despite its importance. The preface reviews the author's intentions behind publishing this work, discussing various essays that explore political themes, including his "Apology for the French Revolution." This letter responds critically to contemporary views on monarchy and reveals Wordsworth's republican principles, illustrating his support for liberty and justice while critiquing the inequality fostered by hereditary titles and the arbitrariness of governance. Through this introduction, readers are invited to appreciate the depth and relevance of Wordsworth's prose in understanding his comprehensive view of human society.
