主 旨 / Outline

The English Lake District is often referred to as “Wordsworthshire”, after the most famous of the many writers whose works are associated with it. William Wordsworth, the Romantic poet who lived there for most of his life, wrote about the natural scenes and lives of the rural population there. The region inspired his early poetry that grew out of Picturesque tourism and developed into important ideas on the creative imagination, reshaping the natural landscape in Britain and other parts of Europe. It is all narrated in his autobiographical poem, The Prelude, perhaps the most influential poem of the nineteenth century. This is an illustrated lecture.
