Wordsworth - Lakeland Poetry

Informationen zum Autor Author of the semi-autographical work The Prelude, the English poet  William Wordsworth  was born in the Lake District in 1770. His first collections of poems,  An Evening Walk and Descriptive Sketches , were published in 1793, and he met Samuel Taylor Coleridge two years later. Their joint publication of  Lyrical Ballads  in 1798 effectively set the British Romantic Movement into motion, and together with Robert Southey they formed part of the group of ‘Lake Poets’. Sally Bushell is Professor of Romantic and Victorian Literature and co-director of The Wordsworth Centre at Lancaster University (on the edge of the Lake District). She has a long-standing research interest in Wordsworth’s poetry and his representation of the layered meanings of place, space and region. She is also editor of the Cambridge Companion to Lyrical Ballads (2019). Klappentext The poems of William Wordsworth which take inspiration from the Lake District are brought together here, featuring such Wordsworth classics as 'I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud' and 'My Heart Leaps Up As I Behold'. Zusammenfassung Wordsworth’s lyrical works deal with such topics as morality, grief, and appreciation of nature. Wordsworth was a key figure of English Romanticism and much of his poetry was inspired by the beautiful setting of the Lake District, where he lived most of his life. This new selection gathers around fifty of his best-loved odes, ballads and sonnets.
