"One of the many enjoyments of Stephen Gill's William Wordsworth: A Life is the quiet pride it communicates in a job well done. Wordsworth emerges from this comprehensive and absorbing study as a man whose sense of purpose and duty steadily grew from youth to old age." -- Freya Johnston, The Guardian "An essential companion to students of Wordsworth with much to offer the general reader." -- Will Smith, Cumbria Life, "[William Wordsworth: A Life] is judicious, fair-minded, panoptic." -- Brad Leithauser, The Wall Street Journal "One of the many enjoyments of Stephen Gill's William Wordsworth: A Life is the quiet pride it communicates in a job well done.

Synopsis
In this second edition of William Wordsworth: A Life, Stephen Gill draws on knowledge of the poet's creative practices and his reputation and influence in his life-time and beyond. Refusing to treat the poet's later years as of little interest, this biography presents a narrative of the whole of Wordsworth's long life--1770 to 1850--tracing the development from the adventurous youth who alone of the great Romantic poets saw life in revolutionary France to the old man who became Queen Victoria's Poet Laureate. The various phases of Wordsworth's life are explored with a not uncritical sympathy; the narrative brings out the courage he and his wife and family were called upon to show as they crafted the life they wanted to lead. While the emphasis is on Wordsworth the writer, the personal relationships that nourished his creativity are fully treated, as are the historical circumstances that affected the production of his poetry. Wordsworth, it is widely believed, valued poetic spontaneity. He did, but he also took pains over every detail of the process of publication. The foundation of this second edition of the biography remains, as it was of the first, a conviction that Wordsworth's poetry, which has given pleasure and comfort to generations of readers in the past, will continue to do so in the years to come., In this second edition of William Wordsworth: A Life, Stephen Gill draws on knowledge of the poet's creative practices and his reputation and influence in his life-time and beyond.

The foundation of this second edition of the biographyremains, as it was of the first, a conviction that Wordsworth's poetry, which has given pleasure and comfort to generations of readers in the past, will continue to do so in the years to come., A second edition of Stephen Gill's acclaimed biography William Wordsworth: A Life. Completely revised and updated, this edition explores the whole of Wordsworth's life including his career, his personal relationships, and the historical circumstances that affected his poetry., William Wordsworth (1770-1850) is recognised as one of the greatest poets in the English language and a key figure in the movement that altered the culture and politics of the Western world, generally called Romanticism. In his writings Wordsworth not only registered turbulent times from the French Revolution to near revolution in 1840s Victorian Britain, but also established a pattern of self-analysis that permanently altered the nature of autobiography and ofways of thinking about identity and the self. Generations of readers have testified to the power of his poetry both to inspire and to console.
