Riassunto

More than any other poet, Wordsworth was his own biographer, telling his story through his verse. This work on his life and times, first published in 1980, remains the only full-length popular biography. It draws on the letters and diaries of Wordsworth and his sister Dorothy, and of their contemporaries Coleridge and Southey. Author Hunter Davies also taps his own knowledge of the Lake District, which featured so strongly in Wordsworth life, to present a complete portrait of England's best-known poet.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

This remains the definitive popular biography of England's best known poet. || A classic biography which is a joy to read. || A painstakingly researched book that is both informative and eminently readable. || As valuable as ever in providing general readers with a life of the genius without the need to resort to the many detailed academic studies. Furthermore anything by Hunter Davies is well worth opening.
