About this listen
William Wordsworth (1770 -1850) is one of the most popular and enduring of the English poets. His poetry is beloved for its deep feeling, its use of ordinary speech, and its celebration of nature and of the beauty and poetry in the commonplace. Together with his friend, the poet and political activist Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Wordsworth helped launch the romantic age in English literature. These poems demonstrate the astonishing range and beauty of Wordsworth’s work and his sustained, coherent vision.
William Wordsworth was a defining member of the English Romantic Movement. Like other Romantics, his personality and poetry were deeply influenced by his love of nature.

Horrible reading
How to ruin even the greatest poetry in one easy lesson - really unpleasant and grating - disappointing in the extreme

Struggled with the narrator
Really struggled to get through this due to the narration which was wooden and a little uptight. Wordsworth is beautiful but this voice actor wasn’t a good fit.

Travesty
Read by a robot,with little effort made to interpret or empathize with the writer. No emotion or rythm. Alexa would do better.
