Excerpt from Wordsworth and His Circle
This book does not aim at being a biography of Wordsworth, though it is strung on a biographical thread; and, as the title indicates, it is in many places as much about Wordsworth's contemporaries as about himself.
As my method is deliberately desultory, I have tried, with whatever success, to be on my guard against repetition, the attendant shadow of desultoriness. The first chapter, being introductory, contains a kind of forecast, or summary in advance, of the chief contents of the chapters that follow.
It is impossible to be even initiated into Wordsworth without knowing, and knowing well, a great deal of his poetry. I have, therefore, not stinted myself in quotation and comment, though I have tried to avoid the reproduction of verses which might conceivably be regarded as trite or insignificant. In the Appendix will be found references for those quotations the whereabouts of which is not clearly shown in the text.
The prefixed list Of authorities may serve the double purpose of showing the sources from which I have drawn, and guiding the reader who may wish to go more deeply into the subject.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book immerses us in the life and work of literary great, William Wordsworth. A poet, critic and philosopher, Wordsworth is revealed as a complex and solitary figure. At the heart of the book is an exploration of the Romantic Revival in Britain at the end of the 18th century. Wordsworth's significance is revealed through his role as a leader of this movement, which emphasized imagination and emotion in art, exalting the natural world and championing the common man. The author focuses on Wordsworth's deep connection to the landscape of the English Lake District where he lived and found inspiration. Through detailed analysis, the book demonstrates how Wordsworth's profound love of nature and his sense of social justice found expression in his poetry. Ultimately, this scholarly yet accessible volume illuminates Wordsworth's timeless insights into nature, humanity, and imagination, cementing his legacy as one of the most influential and important poets in the English language.
