What I'm Reading Today

For tomorrow night's class, I'm reading William Wordworth's The Prelude Or, Growth of a Poet's Mind: An Autobiographical Poem (1850). I haven't really delved into it yet, but it looks interesting. So far, I've just perused some of the footnotes and skimmed the work for its highlights in order to get the gist of it. One footnote, for instance, references Wordsworth's frequent allusions to John Milton's oft-discussed literary masterpiece Paradise Lost (1667), which I haven't gotten around to reading but plan to. So, as soon as I finish The Prelude, I'll share my thoughts on it with y'all.
