Part of the respected Literature in Perspective series, this concise critical study presents a thorough and accessible examination of the life and poetry of William Wordsworth, one of England's greatest Romantic poets. Margaret Drabble, herself a celebrated novelist and literary scholar, argues with clarity and authority that Wordsworth's revolutionary approach to nature, memory, and the human imagination reshaped the course of English literature. The work chronicles the poet's development from his early radical years through to his mature, philosophically rich output, including landmark works such as The Prelude and Lyrical Ballads. Written with precision and scholarly confidence, it serves as an ideal introduction for students while remaining intellectually rewarding for the seasoned reader of Romantic literature.
