Synopsis

"Enjoyable, sympathetically selected and annotated, and making a fine companion to Juliet Barker's biography ... not to be missed" TLS

Here, in his own words and in those of his closest friends and family, is William Wordsworth. From his childhood to his death in 1850, this striking portrait, taken from letters and autobiographical fragments carefully selected by Juliet Barker, reveals the rebellious schoolboy who became a supporter of the French Revolution, the radical young poet who rose to be a revered patriarch and the intensely private man who loved and cared deeply for his family. At long last, Wordsworth is allowed to speak for himself.
