Ajouter au panierHardcover. Etat : New. Despite his fame, Wordsworth's life was shrouded in mystery. His autobiographical poem The Prelude was held back until after his death; his illegitimate child with Annette Vallon in France was only revealed in the 1920s; and his sister Dorothy's journal was not published until 1958. Linking coded references in the poems to key events in his life, his descendant Andrew Wordsworth creates an intimate portrait of this complex, secretive man.

Ajouter au panierHardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. Written by his collateral descendant, sculptor Andrew Wordsworth, this insightful biography studies Wordsworth's poetry to understand more fully this deeply private and often enigmatic personality, and it observes the artist's life to better grasp the meaning of the deceptively immediate verses which conceal many layers of meaning. Andrew Wordsworth doesn't hesitate to describe faithfully his illustrious ancestor's complex and aloof personality, and his successes as well as his shortcomings. For example, he explains how after The Prelude (completed in 1805 but published posthumously) he composed little of note and his project with Coleridge, The Recluse, remained a literary pipe-dream. Perhaps, Wordsworth himself was the 'Recluse', increasingly isolated, ensconced in his bucolic corner in the Lake District, surrounded by his close family circle (the harem, as Coleridge called it): his sister Dorothy, his constant companion, and later his wife Mary and his daughters tragically, Dorothy was to be afflicted by a mental illness for the last 20 years of her life. Moreover, Wordsworth became progressively conservative and nationalistic, abandoning entirely his earlier liberal ideals which led him to join the French revolutionaries several years earlier. One wonders if this need for a settled and steady life and for tradition was a reaction to the many upheavals he had experienced in his early life; he was orphaned as a young child and grew up separated from his brothers and sisters: he didn't see Dorothy for nine consecutive years. However, this lack of interest in the outside world and its progress was perhaps one of the causes stemming the flow of his creativity which nonetheless would change the course of English poetry forever. As Dr David Whitley notes, Well-Kept Secrets intersperses the narrative exploring Wordsworth's life with a wealth of poetic verses. This structure clearly shows how Wordsworth's art was intimately linked to his existence and how it was a means more or less conscious to come to terms with the world, with himself and the many contradictions running like chasms across his personality. It also enables Andrew Wordsworth to shed some new light on the interpretation of the poetry and to better understand the poet as a man. AUTHOR: Andrew Wordsworth is a painter, sculptor and collateral descendent of William Wordsworth. He studied at Winchester College and Jesus College, Cambridge, where he read English and studied Wordsworth in detail. Following in the steps of his ancestor, he then moved to France for several years, studying at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, and teaching English at the Ecole Nationale de l'Administration. From Paris, he moved to the Italian countryside, where he still lives now. 21 colour, 5 b/w illustrations Literary biography of the greatest Romantic poet, William Wordsworth, combining readings of his poetry with a revelatory examination of his life and complex personality.
