Wordsworth’s homeland had a huge impact on his poetry.

William Wordsworth. Prelude, or the Formation of the Poet’s Consciousness / The publication was prepared by Andrey Gorbunov, Elena Khaltrin-Khalturina, Tatyana Stamova.
– M.: Ladomir: Nauka, 2017. – 1000 p. (Literary monuments).
The name of William Wordsworth (1770-1850) is certainly known to every lover of poetry. One of the central figures of English romanticism, Wordsworth, may not have had such a total influence on Russian poetry of previous centuries as George Gordon Byron or Percy Bysshe Shelley, but, firstly, now the situation seems to be changing, and secondly , for the English history of poetry of the century before last, he was and remains one of the most important poets. One of the three representatives – along with Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Robert Southey – of the “Lake School”, “Lakeists” (according to their habitat in Cumbria), “Poet Laureate” (in 1843-1850s), Wordsworth in the Soviet Literary criticism was considered a “reactionary” romantic (in defiance of the “revolutionary” Shelley and Byron). Wordsworth’s meditativeness and contemplation, the most important properties of his lyrical image, were sometimes perceived as a departure from the real problems of the world.
Meanwhile, the young Wordsworth was perceived by his contemporaries almost as a shocking, in any case, breaking the canons poet. In the preface to his most important book, Lyric Ballads (1798), Wordsworth says this about his artistic program: “… the main task of these Poems was to select cases and situations from everyday life and retell or describe them, constantly using how perhaps in ordinary language, and at the same time color them with the colors of the imagination, due to which ordinary things would appear in an unusual form; finally – and this is the main thing – to make these cases and situations interesting, revealing in them with truthfulness, but not deliberately, the fundamental laws of our nature; it mainly concerns the way in which we connect concepts when we are in a state of excitement. And further, speaking of referring to ordinary pictures of “simple rural life”, to everyday speech, Wordsworth writes: “… such a language, born of long experience and constant feelings, is more eternal and much more philosophical than the language that poets often substitute for him, thinking that they do themselves and their art the greater honor, the more they separate themselves from human feelings and give preference to arbitrary and whimsical forms of expression, supplying food for changeable tastes and changeable appetites, created by themselves. Quiet calmness and melancholy, characteristic of the lyrical image of Wordsworth, do not negate the deep cordiality, a kind of sad sympathy, which so distinguishes the poet from other English romantics. Wordsworth does not protest against being, does not rebel, but analyzes, and this analytics is reminiscent not so much of dissolving in the world as understanding of its laws, while remaining the main property that drives his lyrics – sympathy.
As is already clear, Wordsworth’s poetry became a topic of conversation due to the fact that three years before the poet’s major anniversary, researchers presented poetry admirers with a solid collection of his works “Prelude”. The executive editor is Andrey Gorbunov, a literary critic, Doctor of Philology, professor at Moscow University, a specialist in the history of foreign literature, one of the greatest scholars of Shakespeare.
The backbone of the publication is Wordsworth’s main work, the philosophical autobiographical poem “The Prelude, or the Formation of the Poet’s Consciousness”, which the poet began to write at the age of 27 and continued, corrected, improved until the end of his life. An important and, probably, sad fact is that during the lifetime of Wordsworth the poem was not published: and after all, such a publication would undoubtedly make his contemporaries forgive him for the “treason” of the French Revolution and generally evaluate his contribution not only to literature, but also to aesthetics, to philosophy of understanding the purpose of the poet.

This poem is actually a confession: in it Wordsworth presents the most important stages in the formation of his soul, consciousness from childhood to adulthood. Describes how he was influenced by communication with the nature of his native Lake District, rural residents. The contrast to the ideals of nature are the “centers of culture” – Cambridge, London with all human institutions, passions and vices. The author shows how travel around Europe and the French Revolution influenced him. The measured epic narrative (not devoid, of course, of the passion of youthful experiences) is, in a way, a laboratory work in which the material is the soul, and the laboratory is life itself. The poem is riddled with countless allusions, references to the works of William Shakespeare, John Milton, Edmund Spenser, the Bible, and other sources.
An important place in the “Prelude”, saturated with descriptions, reflections, is occupied by episodes, a kind of “know-how” of Wordsworth. He called them “spots of time”. These are unexpected psychological insights that are important for the formation of the poet’s personality. They are easy to detect, they are always separated from the general fabric by unexpected situations, images that bring the lyrical hero into an ecstatic state and help to achieve an understanding of some truth. Wordsworth scholars have created a scheme of episodes in which each is given a name, for example, “The Ruin of the Crows’ Nests”, “The Race to Furness Abbey”, “The Blind Beggar in the Streets of London”, etc. And the list is not exhausted – philologists continue to make “discoveries”.
What Wordsworth’s family called “darning”, namely, polishing, rearranging the episodes of the poem, the author did until 1839. It was this edition that saw the light after the death of the poet in 1850. However, for the present edition, the compilers chose the 1805 edition. The same one that the poet read to his friend Coleridge (to whom it was dedicated) in the winter of 1807. And this is fair. As the compilers explain, “it is she who crowns the period of Wordsworth’s creative heyday, his” golden decade “.
Actually, the exclusive of the book is that it contains the first complete translation of the poem into Russian. It was made by Tatyana Stamova, a poet, prose writer and translator of English and Italian poetry. Her translations included books by Emily Dickinson, Giacomo Leopardi, John Milton, Thomas Eliot, Geoffrey Chaucer. Prior to this, the Prelude appeared in Russian only in fragments – for example, “The Simplon Pass” (an excerpt from the 6th book) translated by Alev Ibragimov, “The Boy” (an excerpt from the 5th book) translated by Dmitry Min. Now the “streams” have been combined into a “stream”, along it one can observe how the consciousness of the hero moves from selfless love for Nature to love for Man.
The poem, written in iambic pentameter verse, is replete with long sentences-periods, enjambements (fr. enjamber – “to step over” – a transfer in versification, the effect of a discrepancy between the syntactic and rhythmic structure. – “NG-EL”), however, despite this , Tatyana Stamova managed to convey the rhythm, clarity, figurative harmony; in places – say, when describing the London fair – one recalls the dynamics and dancing lightness of Onegin. But “dancing”, rushing along with the stream is only possible for brilliant philologists: the 266-page poem is provided with 200-page notes, detailed and interesting, diverting to the end of the book. “Undercurrents” – historical, literary criticism, biographical – are brought to the reader by Elena Khaltrin-Khalturina, Doctor of Philology, employee of the Institute of Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, author of many articles on British and North American literature of the 17th-20th centuries. In the “Appendices” to the “Prelude” – two of her articles on the work of Wordsworth.
About 300 pages for other works. The poems are given in translations by Konstantin Balmont, Yuli Daniel, Ignatii Ivanovsky, Grigory Kruzhkov, Wilhelm Levik, Ivan Likhachev, Alexander Lukyanov, Samuil Marshak, Alexei Parin, Vladimir Rogov, Andrey Sergeev, Maria Falikman, Mikhail Frolovsky and others. There were disputes about the comparative quality of translations and they will argue: the selection of translation options never satisfies everyone. For example, in the chapter “From the collection “Lyrical Ballads”, almost all the verses are given in brilliant translations of the poet Igor Melamed, who died untimely in 2014. And suddenly – the famous ballad “Idiot Boy” translated by Alexander Karelsky. Why was the ballad not also given in Melamed’s translation, which is definitely not inferior in quality? Maybe because he brushed aside the politically correct “idiot boy”, giving a direct translation of “idiot boy”, and in Russian the word “idiot” is loaded with a mass of unnecessary shades and connotations? May be.
