There is a long-held view that Wordsworth's inspiration dried up before the age of forty. This book opposes that view by examining the substantial body of poetry written after his fiftieth year. The argument is that, in order to appreciate this work, much of which was inspired by itineraries in Britain and in Europe, we have to read the poems as they were first published. By adopting the perspective of the contemporary reader, Wordsworth's grand design can be appreciated.
This volume of The Cornell Fisher contains eight collections of poems, mostly describing an imagined journey. Ecclesiastical Sketches, by far the largest group in the volume, consists entirely of sonnets and moves through historical time rather than topographical space. Memorials of a Tour on the Continent, 1820 is a record of an actual tour, containing when first published 23 sonnets and 15 other poems.
Thisbook explores Wordsworth's extraordinaryinfluence on the tourist landscape of the Lake District throughout the age ofrailways, motorcars and the First World War. It explores how patterns of tourist behaviour andenvironmental awareness changed in the century of popular tourism, examininghow Wordsworth's vision shaped modern ideas of travel, landscape and culturalheritage.
