Written soon after the poet’s death, this short life follows Wordsworth from Cambridge and his summer walking tours to revolutionary France, then home to England, Grasmere and finally Rydal Mount. Phillips treats him as the founder of a new school of poetry and weaves the making of the major poems into the story of his days.
An admiring Victorian portrait, useful for readers who want the shape of Wordsworth’s life in a single sitting. Download the free EPUB.
