Excerpt from Wordsworth
Wordsworth maintains that one impulse from a vernal wood can teach us more of man than the collected works of all the philosophers. Yet the vernal wood has, certainly, no didactic intentions. If the vernal wood be so instructive, manifestly the poet in a vernal mood, or any other mood, say autumnal, can teach us abundantly too, though, like the coppice in question, he has no set purpose of instruction. Thus Keats's Ode to Autumn inevitably begets moral ideas, ideas about life, just as much as le [diet Boy, or more. Great poetry, with or without a purpose, makes existence more vivid and real, brings us into more intimate contact and closer touch with existence, whether the poet approaches a practical conclusion or not.

Book Description:
First published in 1881, this biography explores the work of William Wordsworth (1770-1850). Arguing that Wordsworth's poems marked the transition from neoclassicism to romanticism in English verse, it reveals how his profound imagination and thought characterised the romantic era, and made a major contribution to English literary history.
About the Author:
Sir Walter Raleigh was an English professor, actor, poet and writer. Born in London in 1861, Raleigh studied and lectured on English Literature for most of his life, teaching in India at Mohammedan Anglo-Oriental College, and at several universities in the United Kingdom, including University College Liverpool, Glasgow University, and Oxford University. At the outset of the First World War, Raleigh changed his career's focus from Romantic era literature and began covering topics relating to the war. Sir Walter Raleigh's best-known work is The War in the Air, which provided coverage on the Royal Air Force's efforts in the war. Raleigh died at the age of 61 from typhoid.
