The Poet Who Changed the World
Jonathan Bate
He lived long and grew conservative, his poetic powers dramatically waning in the second half of his life. But in the first half, Wordsworth was a great poetic genius, a revolutionary who changed the world. Wordsworth rejoiced in the French Revolution and played a central role in the cultural upheavak that we call the Romantic Revolution. He and his fellow Romantics changed forwever the way we think about childhood, the self, our connection to the natural environment, and the purpose of poetry.
