Summary

In August 1817 the Edinburgh Review used the term "Lake Poets" to describe the work of Wordsworth, Coleridge, and Southey. The term was used in a derisory context. Now, 180 years later, the term is used in anything but a derogatory fashion.

We now see the work of the Lake Poets, in particular that of Wordsworth and Coleridge, and specifically that written in the legendary 10-year period between 1797 and 1807, as defining the nature of modern poetry. This poetic revolution is a fascinating story. Certainly the location couldn't be bettered: the most outstandingly beautiful and atmospheric landscape in the British Isles: the Lake District.

This audiobook is based on the DVD of the same name.

Very atmospheric!

This audiobook reintroduced me to William Wordsworth and his world in an exciting and stimulating way. The narrators were quite powerful. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to 'feel' some of the power of Wordseorth, the other 'lake poets' and Dorothy. It is not a detailed chronology of his life, but I think it is lovely.
