The figure of William Wordsworth looms over the nineteenth century like a presiding genius. Sage, seer, Poet Laureate, he was revered and honoured by his Victorian contemporaries as a writer of tender, lyrical poetry, champion of country life and, most of all, the great spirit communing with nature. Drawing on unpublished sources, Juliet Barker presents a new picture of Wordsworth, as both the public icon and private family man. This book is a major biography of one of Britain's most famous poet and a vivid portrait of a fiercely passionate man.
