A book that debunks the popular myth that William Wordsworth was,
first and foremost, a poet of daffodils, Wordsworth's Gardens and
Flowers: The Spirit of Paradise provides a vivid account of
Wordsworth as a gardening poet who not only wrote about gardens and
flowers but also designed - and physically worked in - his gardens.
Wordsworth's Gardens and Flowers: The Spirit of Paradise is a book
of two halves. The first section focuses on the gardens that
Wordsworth made at Grasmere and Rydal in the English Lake District,
and also in Leicestershire, at Coleorton. The gardens are explored
via his poetry and prose and the journals of his sister, Dorothy
Wordsworth. In the second half of the book, the reader learns more
of Wordsworth's use of flowers in his poetry, exploring the vital
importance of British flowers and other 'unassuming things' to his
work, as well as their wider cultural, religious and political
meaning. Throughout, the engaging, accessible text is woven around
illustrations that bring Wordsworth's gardens and flowers to life,
including rare botanical prints, many reproduced here for the first
time in several decades.
