Krátky popis
A dazzling new biography of Wordsworth's radical life as a thinker
and poetical innovator, published to mark the 250th anniversary of
his birth. William Wordsworth wrote the first great poetic
autobiography. We owe to him the idea that places of outstanding
natural beauty should become what he called 'a sort of national
property'.He changed forever the way we think about childhood,
about the sense of the self, about our connection to the natural
environment, and about the purpose of poetry. He was born among the
mountains of the English Lake District. He walked into the French
Revolution, had a love affair and an illegitimate child, before
witnessing horrific violence in Paris.His friendship with Samuel
Taylor Coleridge was at the core of the Romantic movement. As he
retreated from radical politics and into an imaginative world
within, his influence would endure as he shaped the ideas of
thinkers, writers and activists throughout the nineteenth century
in both Britain and the United States. This wonderful book opens
what Wordsworth called 'the hiding places of my power'.W. H. Auden
once wrote that 'Poetry makes nothing happen'.He was wrong.
Wordsworth's poetry changed the world. Award-winning biographer and
critic Jonathan Bate tells the story of how it happened.
