William Wordsworth (1770 - 1850)

About

William Wordsworth was born in 1770 in the market-town of Cockermouth, Cumbria, and educated at Hawkshead Grammar School and St John's College, Cambridge. During his twenties he witnessed the French Revolution at first hand and became a staunch republican. His collaboration with Coleridge in 1797-1798 (The annus mirabilis) produced some of his greatest poems, including Lyrical Ballads and The Prelude. He settled at Dove Cottage, Grasmere, and would reside in the English Lake District for the rest of his life. He became Poet Laureate to Queen Victoria in 1843 and died in 1850.

Quote of the Day Carcanet has always been the place to look for considerations of purely literary and intellectual merit. Its list relies on the vision and the faith and the energy of people who care about books, and values. It is thus as rare as it is invaluable.
