Product Description

"Drawing on old maps, contemporary drawings and paintings, portraits and other archive material, the excellent Famous Authors series not only presents a factual outline of the writers’ lives, but also conveys a clear visual picture of the social and historical background to their writing. Recommended for all ages." —THE GOOD BOOK GUIDE

An English poet, William Wordsworth is known for his worship of nature, his humanitarianism, his early sympathy with democratic liberalism, and his interest in the lives of the common people. He and his friend Samuel Coleridge were the early pioneers of English Romanticism. His work served to reform poetic diction. Some of his most popular works are The Excursion and The Prelude. The bulk of his best-known works are contained in Lyrical Ballads, which he published with Coleridge.

Lyrical Ballads (with Coleridge) (1798)

2.0 out of 5 stars A bit dry, March 25, 2009

By	Nicole Mohr (Simi Valley, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Some of the videos in the famous authors series are wonderful. I particularly like the Emily Dickinson one. However, this one was very dry. For a man who is so interesting, this video made 30 minutes about him seem very long. The students I showed it to were unfortunately bored.
