On the 250th anniversary of Wordsworth's birth comes an "appealing
new biography . . . [that] illuminates Wordsworth's poetic
originality." (Brad Leithauser, Wall Street Journal) "The finest
modern introduction to [Wordsworth's] work, life and impact. It
shows how and why 'Wordsworth made a difference.'"--Boyd Tonkin,
Financial Times Named a Favorite Book of 2020 by The Progressive
Published in time for the 250th anniversary of William Wordsworth's
birth, this is the biography of a great poetic genius, a
revolutionary who changed the world. Wordsworth rejoiced in the
French Revolution and played a central role in the cultural
upheaval that we call the Romantic Revolution. He and his fellow
Romantics changed forever the way we think about childhood, the
sense of the self, our connection to the natural environment, and
the purpose of poetry. But his was also a revolutionary life in the
old sense of the word, insofar as his art was of memory, the return
of the past, the circling back to childhood and youth. This
beautifully written biography is purposefully fragmentary,
momentary, and selective, opening up what Wordsworth called "the
hiding-places of my power."
