Book Synopsis The Pedestrian, Wordsworth by : Rodney Jones

Book excerpt: In "A Letter to a friend of Robert Burns," Wordsworth wrote ""And, of poets more especially, it is true - that, if their works be good, they contain within themselves all that is necessary to their being comprehended and relished."" While it is improbable that this assertion was true when he wrote it in 1816, it is certainly not the case for readers of his poetry today. The historical context in which his poetry was written - and which is often reflected in the poems themselves - is, in many respects, little known to today's students of the romantic period, nor to those who simply enjoy reading Wordsworth's poetry. This set of books seeks to remedy that deficiency by providing much needed contextual information. This first volume is set against the background of Wordsworth's life from his birth at Cockermouth in 1770 until his return from Germany in the Spring of 1799. Two subsequent volumes will cover his life in Grasmere and at Rydal Mount respectively.
