a Webb & Bower Pocket Poet - Wordsworth

Meer over het boek

William Wordsworth (1770-1850) was one of the great English poets and a leader of the romantic movement, becoming Poet Laureate in 1842. His poetry was deeply influenced by his love of nature, especially by the landscape of the Lake District, where he spent most of his mature life. Patricia Machin has selected nineteen of his poems, including "I wandered Lonely as a Cloud", "Ode - Intimations of Immortality", "She was a Phantom", and many more, interpreting them with her beautiful paintings. Each poem is introduced with useful information and background notes.
