More about the book
The book delves into the poetry of William Wordsworth, framing it within the enduring pastoral tradition of English Literature. Jonathan Bate challenges the notion that Wordsworth was a reactionary figure, instead presenting him as a politically engaged poet whose work conveys a fundamentally 'green' perspective. By reassessing Wordsworth's connection to the economic realities of the Lake District, the author highlights the ecological themes present in his poetry, offering a fresh interpretation of the poet's legacy.
