4.9/5 (31656 ratings)

Description:Since the early nineteenth century, when it first became a popular destination for travellers, the visitor's perception of the Lake District has been irresistibly affected by the presence and writing of William Wordsworth. His birthplace at Cockermouth and his later homes, Dove Cottage and Rydal Mount, are faithfully preserved, and the places named throughout his poetry--Grasmere, Skiddaw, Dungeon Ghyll Force, the River Duddon--are visited by thousands every year. No other great poet has so decisively influenced our consciousness of an English place; no other has written so extensively and fruitfully about a particular landscape. Much of Wordsworth's poetry grew out of specific sights or incidents in teh area, and his mind was formed in crucial ways by images of its mountains and lakes. From a variety of soources, including notes which Wordsworth dictated in the last years of his life, David McCracken has established, often for the first time, the connections between the poems and the places. The book contains not only numerous contemporary illustrations but also sixteen newly drawn maps and detailed walking guides, which allow the traveller--armchair or otherwise--to follow closely in Wordsworth's footsteps through some of the most beautiful country in Britain.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
