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 Drawing on unpublished sources Juliet Barker presents a new picture of Wordsworth, as both the public icon and private family man. WORDSWORTH is a major biography of one of Britain's most famous poets and a vivid portrait of a fiercely passionate man.

Hardcover. Etat : Poor. Schimmel. "In what is the first biography of Wordsworth to treat the latter part of his life as fully as the first, Juliet Barker employs the skills that made The Brontes a bestseller. Balancing meticulous research with a readable style, and scrupulous objectivity with an understanding of her subject, she reveals not only the public figure who was courted and reviled in equal measure but also the complex, elusive, private man behind that image. Drawing on unpublished sources, she vividly re-creates the intimacy of Wordsworth's domestic circle, showing the love, laughter, loyalty and tragedies which bound them together. Far from being the remote, cold, solitary figure of legend, Wordsworth emerges from this outstanding biography as a passionate, vibrant man who lived for his family, his poetry and his beloved Lakeland. His legacy, as a poet and as the spiritual founder of the conservation movement, remains with us today."--Jacket. N° de réf. du vendeur 0be05d94-96cd-4a45-9b55-932121c18191
