Rezensionen

(The Review of English Studies, 15 October 2014)
"John Worthen's engaging new biography of Wordsworth begins by quoting the poet's recollection of himself at around the age of 10, surveying tall trees, black chasms, and dizzy crags: 'I loved to stand and & read j Their looks forbidding', he says, 'read & disobey' (p. 3). . . Worthen's book is a revealing account of the consequences of that daring."

"This is an original and richly informed life of the great poet, both sympathetic and sceptical. John Worthen has brought a fresh pair of eyes to many aspects of Wordsworth's biography, and the result is a vivid and persuasive account of a remarkable personality."

--Seamus Perry, University of Oxford
