Synopsis:

First published in 1810 as an anonymous introduction to a book of drawings, this book was later published as a separate volume, and had gone through 5 editions by 1835. De Selincourt's 1906 edition is reproduced as a guidebook to the landscape in which Wordsworth set so much of his poetry, with an introduction, appendices, and notes textual and illustrative. The text contains complete poems and four contemporary illustrations.

Review: A fascinating insight not only to the man himself and his writings on the area, but also a 'time machine' picture of the Lake District at the time of Wordsworth's tour || [This is] his first hand account of his feelings about the unique countryside on our doorstep that was the source of his inspiration ... much more than just daffs
