Wordsworth, De Quincey and Dove cottage - for iPod/iPhone
Can a location inspire great poetry? To what extent can a personâs environment influence their art? After leaving the area as a child the Romantic poet William Wordsworth returned to the Lake District and remained there from 1799 to 1802. Surrounded by scenery he cherished Wordsworth composed some of his best poetry in Dove Cottage, but the building was also the residence of friend Thomas De Quincy whom documented his time with the Wordsworthâs as well as his own experiences in the property.
