The seminal collection helped to set England's Romantic Era in motion.
Review Quotes:
""Wordsworth's connection to nature is unique. Before his time, flower, stream, and mountain were considered powerless to infuse the contemplative mind with a knowledge of themselves. Wordsworth came to regard all nature as vividly representing the soul that pervades all consciousness."" - Midland Counties Tribune, 1907
""Wordsworth... the sober, moral, meditative, nature-loving, dignified poet of the mountains."" - Leamington Spa Courier, 1911
