October 19, 2009 12:35 pm
Renowned as one the key figures of Romanticism, William Wordsworth broke through poetic traditions and barriers to produce verse that redefined the principles underlying the writing of poetry, placing the poet’s emotions and interaction with a natural, pastoral world at the centre of poetic philosophy. Wordsworth’s influences are a topic of immense academic debate, and this album provides a concise and distinct introduction to the many literary, political and cultural shifts that informed and inspired one of literature’s most breathtakingly beautiful movements. This material forms part of The Open University course A207 From Enlightenment to Romanticism c.1780-1830.
