The author argues that Wordsworth's study of his interaction with Nature in the 'Prelude' forms the basis of his ideas on the relationship between the reader & his poems, and thus the structure & informing nature of his verse. Wordsworth wrote to recreate for his reader the kinds of experience crucial to his own imaginative development.
