A “thorough and painstaking” biography of the nineteenth-century poet who helped launch the Romantic movement in England (The Daily Mail, UK).
Together with Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Wordsworth pioneered a new poetic form that celebrated nature and prized freedom, emotion, and individuality. The force of his aesthetic and intellectual influence was pervasive, reaching from music and art to science, politics, and history.
Drawing on the published letters and diaries of Wordsworth and his sister, Dorothy, and of their contemporaries Coleridge and Southey, this full-length biography of the poet’s life and times also draws on the author’s own knowledge of the Lake District, which was central to Wordsworth’s life. Hunter Davies discusses Wordsworth’s much-debated relationship with his sister; tells the story of his affair with Annette Vallon; and describes in detail William’s life with his wife, Mary.
Readers will also learn of the poet’s family life at Grasmere and Rydal, his political activities, his formative meeting with Coleridge in the West Country, and his other travels.
