Detailed explanation-1: -The subtitle of The Prelude is ‘Growth of a Poet’s Mind’. William Wordsworth (1770-1850) began writing his autobiographical blank verse epic in 1798, working on it intermittently until 1839. It was published posthumously in 1850.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Prelude, a kind of ‘semi-autobiography’ is only a record of the meaningful experiences of Wordsworth’s life. He tells the story of his inner life from earliest childhood up to 1798, the year of the Lyrical Ballads. It is not a self-portrait.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Prelude, in full The Prelude, or Growth of a Poet’s Mind, autobiographical epic poem in blank verse by William Wordsworth, published posthumously in 1850.
Detailed explanation-4: -Wordsworth’s The Prelude is literally the autobiography of an orphan. It records in its way the death of the poet’s mother when Wordsworth himself is almost eight, and that of his father when he is thirteen.
Detailed explanation-5: -The study discovers that The Prelude is not an autobiography in the usual sense from the holy pen of the high priest of nature. In it, we have the faithful record of his inner life and emotional experiences enabling us to have a glimpse of the innermost recesses of the poet’s soul.
