More than any other poet, Wordsworth was his own biographer,
telling his story through his verse. This work on his life and
times, first published in 1980, remains the only full-length
popular biography. It draws on the letters and diaries of
Wordsworth and his sister Dorothy, and of their contemporaries
Coleridge and Southey. Author Hunter Davies also taps his own
knowledge of the Lake District, which featured so strongly in
Wordsworth life, to present a complete portrait of England's
best-known poet.
