Paperback. Condition: Very Good. William Wordsworth's early life reads like a novel. Orphaned at a young age and dependent on the charity of unsympathetic relatives, he became the archetypal teenage rebel. Refusing to enter the Church, he went instead to Revolutionary France, where he fathered an illegitimate daughter and became a committed Republican. His poetry was as revolutionary as his politics, challenging convention in form, style and subject and earning him the universal derision and contempt of critics. Only the unfailing encouragement of a tightly knit group of supporters, his family and, above all, Coleridge, kept him true to his poetic vocation. In the half-century that followed his reputation was transformed - the despised author of homely lyric verse turned into a venerated philosopher whose opinions were actively sought by politicians, Church leaders and educationalists. His advocavy of the importance of imagination and feeling touched a chord in an increasingly industral, mechanistic age, and his influence was profoundly and widely felt in every sphere of life. In the last decade of his life, Rydal Mount, his home in the Lakes for 37 years, became a place of pilgrimage, not just for the great and powerful in Church and state, but also, more touchingly, for the hundreds of ordinary people who came to pay their respects to his genius. In what is, astonishingly, the first biography of Wordsworth to treat the latter part of his life as fully as the first, Juliet Barker employs the skills that made The Brontes a bestseller. Balancing meticulous research with a readable style, and srupulous objectivity with an understanding of her subject, she reveals not only the public figure who was courted and reviled in equal measure but also the complex, elusive, private man behind that image. Drawing on unpublished sources, she vividly re-creates the intimacy of Wordsworth's domestic circle, showing the love, laughter, loyalty and tragedies which bound them together. Far from being the remote, cold, solitary figure of legend, Wordsworth emerges from his biography as a passionate, vibrant man who lived for his family, his poetry and his beloved Lakeland. His legacy, as a poet and as the spiritual founder of the conservation movement, remains with us today. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. This is "Wordsworth - A Life" by Juliet Barker, published by HarperCollins in their Ecco Division. It is a full autobiography, perhaps the first to treat the later years of Wordsworth in detail. This is a remaindered copy, with a black remainder mark on the bottom edge of the text-block. ***************************************** The following is excerpted from the jacket blurb: "William Wordsworth's early life reads like a novel. Orphaned at a young age and dependent on the charity of unsympathetic relatives, he became the archetypical teenage rebel. Refusing to enter the Church, he went instead to revolutionary France, where he fathered an illegitimate daughter and became a committed Republican. His poetry was a revolutionary as his politics, challenging convention in form, style and subject, and earning him the universal derision and contempt of critics. Only the unfailing encouragement of a tightly-knit group of supporters, his family, and , above all, Coleridge, kept him true to his poetic vision. In the half-century that followed his reputation was transformed. His advocacy of the importance of imagination and feeling touched a chord in an increasingly industrial, mechanistic age, and his influence was profoundly and widely felt in every sphere of life. Juliet Barker balances meticulous research with a readable style, and scrupulous objectivity with an understanding of her subject. She reveals not only the public figure who was courted and reviled in equal measure, but also the complex, elusive, private man behind the image." *************************************** TITLE : William Wordsworth - a Life / AUTHOR : Juliet Barker / IMPRINT : Ecco (Subsidiary of Harper Collins) / PLACE : New York / DATE : 2005 / EDITION : First American Edition (So stated) / STATUS : Hardcover OP / PHYSICAL DETAILS : Trade Hardcover; contains numerous monochrome illustrations and chapter heading vignettes, has a genealogical chart (Wordsworth Family Tree), and a map; includes an Index. x + 548 pages; 6" x9" quarter - bound, orange paper-covered boards, and black paper-covered spine - gilt lettering on spine; pictorial dust-jacket. Accompanying the book is a stapled, pictorial pamphlet from British Airways concerning a Wordsworth exhibition, titled "William Wordsworth and the Age of English Romanticism". **************************************** CONDITION -- BOOK is NEAR VERY GOOD - JACKET is VERY GOOD PLUS -- This is a previously owned book that does not seem to have been read. It has but modest signs of handling and time's passage (slight fading along board edges; slight compression to spine extremities; a touch of weathering to text-block edges - which are basically clean. The only real disfigurement is the back remainder mark on the bottom text-block edge - Hence the book's condition grade. ) Binding is tight and the interior has no marking or writing. Dust-jacket has a bit of wear about the top and bottom edges, but is basically clean and fresh and still has the original publisher's price.
Hardcover. Condition: Good. Meticulously researched and beautifully told, 'Wordsworth' provides this reevaluation of the great romantic poet and strips away the myth and rumor to reveal the true story of the passionate, vibrant man who lived for his family, his poetry and his beloved Lakeland. Drawing on unpublished sources, she recreates the intimacy of Wordworth's domestic circle, as well as his intellectual engagement with such defining figures of the age as Coleridge and Godwin. Far from being the remote, cold, solitary figure of legend, this biography reveals his legacy, as a poet and as the spiritual founder of the conservation movement, remains with us today.
