Wordsworth's most famous publication is Lyrical Ballads (with Samuel Taylor Coleridge, 1798; repeatedly revised and expanded, including its famous Preface, added in 1800 and expanded thereafter). Some of his other more important poetic works include An Evening Walk (1793), Descriptive Sketches (1793), Poems, in two Volumes (1807), The Excursion, which was to be a portion of the never-completed The Recluse (1888), and which included "The Ruined Cottage," Poems (1815), The White Doe of Rylstone (1815), Peter Bell (1819), Yarrow Revisited (1835), Poems, Chiefly of Early and Late Years (1842), which included a tragic drama that was not staged in Wordsworth's lifetime, and The Prelude, Or Growth of a Poet's Mind (1850, posthumous), which was substantially complete by 1805, but which Wordsworth continued to work on until his death.
