Wordsworth rejoiced in the French Revolution and played a central role in the cultural upheaval that we call the Romantic Revolution. He and his fellow Romantics changed forever the way we think about childhood, the sense of the self, our connection to the natural environment, and the purpose of poetry. But his was also a revolutionary life in the old sense of the word, insofar as his art was of memory, the return of the past, the circling back to childhood and youth. This beautifully written biography is purposefully fragmentary, momentary, and selective, opening up what Wordsworth called "the hiding-places of my power."Nature (Aesthetics)Poets, English19th centuryBiographyRomanticismBIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / LiterarybisacshGreat BritainIntellectual life19th centuryGreat BritainfastBiographies.fastBiographies.lcgftNature (Aesthetics)Poets, EnglishRomanticism.BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Literary.821/.7Bate Jonathan, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut322328DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910794154603321Radical Wordsworth3764438UNINA
