Poet Details
Discussing prose written by poets, Joseph Brodsky has remarked, "the tradition of dividing literature into poetry and prose dates from the beginnings of prose, since it was only in prose that such a distinction could be made." This insight is worth bearing in mind when considering the various prose works of the poet William Wordsworth. For Wordsworth poetic composition was a primary mode of expression; prose was secondary. Wordsworth seems to have written prose mostly in order to find a structure for his poetic beliefs and political enthusiasms. Over the course of a prolific poetic career, in fact, Wordsworth produced little prose, though he did compose two works of lasting general interest, one on poetics—"Preface to Lyrical Ballads"—and the other on the landscape of his native region—his tourist handbook, A Guide through the District of the Lakes, which retains more than a local interest as geographical background to his poems and biography. Wordsworth is not, of course, remembered as a prose writer but as a poet of spiritual and epistemological speculation, a poet concerned with the human relationship to nature. Yet recently, certain critics, as part of a revisionist critique of older interpretations of Wordsworth's verse, have turned to his political essays for evidence, especially concerning the poet's rejection of his youthful radicalism. Wordsworth's political writings, especially "A Letter to the Bishop of Llandaff," The Convention of Cintra (1809), and Two Addresses to the Freeholders of Westmoreland (1818), while historically significant, are of primary interest as background for the poetry: for Wordsworth, poetics always determined politics.
William Wordsworth, son of John and Ann Cookson Wordsworth, was born on 7 April 1770 in Cockermouth, Cumberland. The Wordsworth children—Richard, William, Dorothy, John, and Christopher—remained close throughout their lives, and the support Dorothy offered William during his long career has attained legendary status. John Wordsworth, William's father, was legal agent to Sir James Lowther, Baronet of Lowther (later Earl of Lonsdale), a political magnate and property owner. Wordsworth's deep love for the "beauteous forms" of the natural world was established early. The Wordsworth children seem to have lived in a sort of rural paradise along the Derwent River, which ran past the terraced garden below the ample house whose tenancy John Wordsworth had obtained from his employer before his marriage to Ann Cookson. William attended the grammar school near Cockermouth Church and Ann Birkett's school at Penrith, the home of his maternal grandparents. The intense lifelong friendship between Dorothy and William Wordsworth probably began when they, along with Mary Hutchinson, attended school at Penrith. Wordsworth's early childhood beside the Derwent and his schooling at Cockermouth are vividly recalled in various passages of The Prelude and in shorter poems such as the sonnet "Address from the Spirit of Cockermouth Castle." His experiences in and around Hawkshead, where William and Richard Wordsworth began attending school in 1779, would also provide the poet with a store of images and sensory experience that he would continue to draw on throughout his poetic career, but especially during the "great decade" of 1798 to 1808. This childhood idyll was not to continue, however. In March of 1778 Ann Wordsworth died while visiting a friend in London. In June 1778 Dorothy was sent to live in Halifax, Yorkshire, with her mother's cousin Elizabeth Threlkeld, and she lived with a succession of relatives thereafter. She did not see William again until 1787.
In December of 1783 John Wordsworth, returning home from a business trip, lost his way and was forced to spend a cold night in the open. Very ill when he reached home, he died 30 December. Though separated from their sister, all the boys eventually attended school together at Hawkshead, staying in the house of Ann Tyson. In 1787, despite poor finances caused by ongoing litigation over Lord Lowther's debt to John Wordsworth's estate, Wordsworth went up to Cambridge as a sizar in St. John's College. As he himself later noted, Wordsworth's undergraduate career was not distinguished by particular brilliance. In the third book of The Prelude Wordsworth recorded his reactions to life at Cambridge and his changing attitude toward his studies. During his last summer as an undergraduate, he and his college friend Robert Jones—much influenced by William Coxe's Sketches of the Natural, Civil, and Political State of Swisserland (1779)—decided to make a tour of the Alps, departing from Dover on 13 July 1790.
Though Wordsworth, encouraged by his headmaster William Taylor, had been composing verse since his days at Hawkshead Grammar School, his poetic career begins with this first trip to France and Switzerland. During this period he also formed his early political opinions—especially his hatred of tyranny. These opinions would be profoundly transformed over the coming years but never completely abandoned. Wordsworth was intoxicated by the combination of revolutionary fervor he found in France—he and Jones arrived on the first anniversary of the storming of the Bastille—and by the impressive natural beauty of the countryside and mountains. Returning to England in October, Wordsworth was awarded a pass degree from Cambridge in January 1791, spent several months in London, and then traveled to Jones's parents' home in North Wales. During 1791 Wordsworth's interest in both poetry and politics gained in sophistication, as natural sensitivity strengthened his perceptions of the natural and social scenes he encountered. In a letter to William Matthews, a Cambridge friend, he lamented his lack of Italian and weak Spanish—he would have liked to be reading modern poetry.
Wordsworth's passion for democracy, as is clear in his "Letter to the Bishop of Llandaff" (also called "Apology for the French Revolution"), is the result of his two youthful trips to France. In November 1791 Wordsworth returned to France, where he attended sessions of the National Assembly and the Jacobin Club. In December he met and fell in love with Annette Vallon, and at the beginning of 1792 he became the close friend of an intellectual and philosophical army officer, Michel Beaupuy, with whom he discussed politics. Wordsworth had been an instinctive democrat since childhood, and his experiences in revolutionary France strengthened and developed his convictions. His sympathy for ordinary people would remain with Wordsworth even after his revolutionary fervor had been replaced with the "softened feudalism" he endorsed in his Two Addresses to the Freeholders of Westmoreland in 1818.
While still in France, Wordsworth began work on the first extended poetic efforts of his maturity, Descriptive Sketches, which was published in 1793, after the appearance of a poem written at Cambridge, An Evening Walk (1793). Having exhausted his money, he left France in early December 1792 before Annette Vallon gave birth to his child Caroline. Back in England, the young radical cast about for a suitable career. As a fervent democrat, he had serious reservations about "vegetating in a paltry curacy," though he had written to William Matthews from France in May 1792 that he intended to be ordained the following winter or spring. Perhaps this plan was why he was reading sermons early in 1793, when he came across a sermon by Richard Watson, Bishop of Llandaff, on "the Wisdom and Goodness of God" in making both rich and poor, with an appendix denouncing the French Revolution. His democratic sympathies aroused, he spent several weeks in February and March working on a reply.
By this time, his relationship with Annette Vallon had become known to his English relatives, and any further opportunity of entering the Church was foreclosed. In any case Wordsworth had been reading atheist William Godwin's recently published Political Justice (1793), and had come powerfully under its sway. "A Letter to the Bishop of Llandaff"—not published until 1876, when it was included in Alexandere B. Grosart's edition of Wordsworth's prose—is the youthful poet and democrat's indignant reply to the forces of darkness, repression, and monarchy. Its prose shares something of the revolutionary clarity of Thomas Paine's. Wordsworth, in fact, quoted Paine in his refutation of Bishop Watson's appendix: "If you had looked in the articles of the rights of man, you would have found your efforts superseded. Equality, without which liberty cannot exist, is to be met with in perfection in that state in which no distinctions are admitted but such as have evidently for their object the general good." Just how radical Wordsworth's political beliefs were during this period can be judged from other passages in this "Letter": "At a period big with the fate of the human race, I am sorry that you attach so much importance to the personal sufferings of the late royal martyr.... You wish it to be supposed that you are one of those who are unpersuaded of the guilt of Louis XVI. If you had attended to the history of the French revolution as minutely as its importance demands, so far from stopping to bewail his death, you would rather have regretted that the blind fondness of his people had placed a human being in that monstrous situation...." Remarking upon the stripping of property from the French priesthood, Wordsworth asserted: "The assembly were true to justice and refused to compromise the interests of the Nation by accepting as a satisfaction the insidious offerings of compulsive charity. They enforced their right: they took from the clergy a considerable portion of their wealth, and applied it to the alleviation of the national misery."
"A Letter to the Bishop of Llandaff" is remarkable partly because Wordsworth seems to have begun relinquishing its tenets almost as soon as he had composed them. Though he remained for the time being a strong supporter of the French Revolution, the poetic side of Wordsworth's personality began asserting itself, causing the poet to reexamine, between 1793 and 1796, his adherence to Godwin's rationalistic model of human behavior, upon which Wordsworth's republicanism was largely founded. Whether "A Letter to Bishop the of Llandaff" remained unpublished through caution or circumstance is not clear. As Wordsworth turned his attention to poetry, he developed, through the process of poetic composition, his own theory of human nature, one that had very little to do with Godwin's rationalism. During this period Wordsworth met another radical young man with literary aspirations, Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
In 1794 and 1795 Wordsworth divided his time between London and the Lake Country, at one point telling William Matthews that he would rather be in London because cataracts and mountains were good occasionally but would not do for constant companions. Nevertheless, in September 1795 William and Dorothy Wordsworth settled at Racedown Lodge in Dorset, where they would live for two years. In The Prelude Wordsworth wrote that his sister "Maintained a saving intercourse / With my true self," and "preserved me still / A poet." At Racedown Wordsworth composed The Borderers, a tragedy in which he came fully to terms with Godwin's philosophy, finally rejecting it as an insufficiently rich approach to life for a poet. Then Wordsworth for the first time found his mature poetic voice, writing The Ruined Cottage, which would be published in 1814 as part of The Excursion, itself conceived as one part of a masterwork, The Recluse, which was to worry Wordsworth throughout his life, a poem proposed to him by Coleridge and planned as a full statement of the two poets' emerging philosophy of life.
In 1797, to be closer to Coleridge, the Wordsworth's moved to Alfoxden House, near the village of Nether Stowey. Because of the odd habits of the household—especially their walking over the countryside at all hours—the local population suspected that the Wordsworth's and their visitors were French spies, and a government agent was actually dispatched to keep an eye on them. The years between 1797 and 1800 mark the period of Wordsworth and Coleridge's close collaboration, and also the beginning of Wordsworth's mature poetic career. Wordsworth wrote the poems that would go into the 1798 and 1800 editions of Lyrical Ballads—poems such as "Tintern Abbey," "Expostulation and Reply," "The Tables Turned," "Goody Blake and Harry Gill," and "Michael" (written, Wordsworth told James Fox, "to shew that men who did not wear fine clothes can feel deeply"). During 1798 Wordsworth also worked on a piece of prose setting out his evolving ideas on justice and morality. Called the "Essay on Morals" by later editors, it was set aside and never finished. Wordsworth seems to have been attempting to work out and justify his changing political and social ideas—ideas that had begun to develop intuitively during the process of poetic composition. The poet in Wordsworth was beginning to dominate the democrat, and the poet found a political philosophy based on power, violence, and reason anathema. In the "Essay on Morals" Wordsworth concerns himself with the relationship between writing and political justice, and, though he had explicitly rejected Edmund Burke's philosophy in his scorching "Letter to the Bishop of Llandaff," he seems to be developing a Burkean idea of community.
In September 1798 the Wordsworth's set off for Germany with Coleridge, returning separately, after some disagreements, in May 1799. In Germany Wordsworth continued to write poems, and when he returned to England he began to prepare a new edition of Lyrical Ballads. The second edition—that of 1800—included an extended preface by Wordsworth, explaining his reasons for choosing to write as he had and setting out a personal poetics that has remained influential and controversial to the present day. For Victorian readers such as Matthew Arnold, who tended to venerate Wordsworth, the preface was a fount of wisdom; but the modernists were deeply suspicious of Wordsworth's reliance on feeling: poets such as T.S. Eliot and Ezra Pound, while they could accept the strictures on poetic diction, found the underlying theory unacceptable. Subsequent critics have focused on the literary and historical sources of Wordsworth's ideas, demonstrating that, while the poet certainly reinvented English poetic diction, his theories were deeply rooted in the practice of earlier poets, especially John Milton. This preface, Wordsworth's only extended statement of his poetics, has become the source of many of the commonplaces and controversies of poetic theory and criticism. For Wordsworth, poetry, which should be written in "the real language of men," is nevertheless "the spontaneous overflow of feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility."
The "Preface to Lyrical Ballads" (revised and expanded many times for later editions) is not a systematic poetics, but a partly polemical, partly pedantic, and still problematic statement of Wordsworth's beliefs about poetry and poetic language. The preface in all its versions is highly discursive, the poet "thinking aloud" in an attempt to formulate ideas about poetry based on poems he has already written. It is important to remember when reading the preface that it both chronologically and logically follows the composition of most of the poems. The two central ideas of the preface are the need for reforming poetic diction—which, according to Wordsworth, had become far too artificial—and the role of the poet in society, which Wordsworth saw as having become too marginal. He had also come to the conclusion that the troubles of society were specifically urban in nature. This view finds eloquent expression in Wordsworth's most powerful early poem, "Tintern Abbey." Thinking of the way in which his memories of the Wye River valley had sustained him, Wordsworth wrote:
Though absent long,
These forms of beauty have not been to me,
As is a landscape to a blind man's eye:
But oft, in lonely rooms, and mid the din
Of towns and cities, I have owed to them,
In hours of weariness, sensations sweet [.]
The poem concludes with a meditation on the power of nature to prevail against the false and superficial "dreary intercourse of daily life" that Wordsworth associated with city life, especially literary life in London. In the preface, Wordsworth characterized those forces as acting against the elevation of mind in which the poet specializes, and he identified them with urban life:
For a multitude of causes unknown to former times are now acting with combined force to blunt the discriminating powers of the mind, and unfitting it for all voluntary exertion to reduce it to a state of almost savage torpor. The most effective of these causes are the great national events which are daily taking place, and the encreasing accumulation of men in cities, where the uniformity of their occupations produces a craving for extraordinary incident which the rapid communication of intelligence hourly gratifies. To this tendency of life and manners the literature of the atrical exhibitions of the country have conformed themselves. The invaluable works of our elder writers, I had almost said the works of Shakespear and Milton, are driven into neglect by frantic novels, sickly and stupid German Tragedies, and deluges of idle and extravagent stories in verse."
In a letter to Catherine Clarkson years later (4 June 1812), Wordsworth blamed not social institutions but people themselves for the ills of society: "As to public affairs; they are most alarming ... The [Prince Regent] seems neither respected or beloved; and the lower orders have been for upwards of thirty years accumulating in pestilential masses of ignorant population; the effects now begin to show themselves...." These words are remarkable in light of Wordsworth's early identification with just such "masses of population," though it is evident even in the preface that he had already begun to represent "the lower orders" as fundamentally removed from the affairs of both state and the arts. This belief is extraordinary considering the faith he had expressed in "the people" in "A Letter to the Bishop of Llandaff."
Even before the publication of the first edition in 1798, Wordsworth was certainly aware that the poems in Lyrical Ballads were different from the conventional verse of the day, and he knew that fashionable reviewers would probably dismiss them as insufficiently elevated in tone and subject matter. They did, with a vengeance, and a good part of Wordsworth's additions to the preface for the 1802 edition are attempts to answer his critics. But even in the 1800 version of the preface Wordsworth made an explicit connection between a plain poetic diction and a proper relationship to nature and society; that is, he makes the issue of a poetic diction a moral one, and his critique of a sonnet by Thomas Gray is an ethical demonstration as well as an example of literary criticism directed by one generation against the preceding one. As Wordsworth revised the preface for later editions, the changes reflected Wordsworth's increasingly conservative and establishment views.
By December 1799 William and Dorothy Wordsworth were living in Dove Cottage, at Town End, Grasmere. In May 1802 Sir James Lowther, Earl of Lonsdale, died, and, though the litigation over his debt to the estate of Wordsworth's father had not been settled, his heir, Sir William Lowther, agreed to pay the Wordsworth children the entire sum. With financial prospects, Wordsworth married Mary Hutchinson on 2 October 1802. The settlement helped to support a growing family and also allowed the Wordsworths to continue their generosity to various friends and men of letters, many of whom came to stay at Dove Cottage, sometimes for months on end. The death of the earl of Lonsdale also marked the beginning of a close economic and political relationship between William Wordsworth and Sir William Lowther (who became earl of Lonsdale in 1807) that would have a significant effect on the poet's political philosophy in the years to come.
Wordsworth continued to write poetry with energy and passion over the next several years, and while fashionable critics such as Francis Jeffrey continued to snipe, his reputation and finances slowly improved. During these years he composed "The Solitary Reaper," "Resolution and Independence," and "Ode: Intimations of Immortality," perhaps the greatest lyrics of his maturity. In these poems Wordsworth presents a fully developed, yet morally flexible, picture of the relationship between human beings and the natural world. Influenced by Neoplatonism, these poems also prepare the way for Wordsworth's return to conventional religious belief. In 1805 Wordsworth completed a massive revision of the "poem to Coleridge" that would be published, after undergoing periodic adjustment and revision, after the poet's death in 1850. Many critics believe that the "1805 Prelude," as it has come to be called, is Wordsworth's greatest poetic achievement.
In May 1808, his "great decade" behind him, Wordsworth moved with his family to Allan Bank, a larger house in Grasmere. Thomas De Quincy took over Dove Cottage. Evidence of a decisive turn in Wordsworth's social and political views—and, by extension, his poetical views as well—during this period is to be found in The Convention of Cintra (1809), an extended political tract concerning the British expedition to Portugal to fight against Napoleon's forces encamped on the Spanish peninsula. In 1793 Wordsworth had written in his "Letter to the Bishop of Llandaff," "In France royalty is no more." In 1808 he might have said "In William Wordsworth, Jacobinism is no more." In place of Wordsworth's early belief in equality, The Convention of Cintra presents a narrowly patriotic and nationalist view of European politics and a profoundly reactionary political philosophy expressed in tortured rhetoric:
But, from the moment of the rising of the people of the Pyrenean peninsula, there was a mighty change; we were instantaneously animated; and, from that moment, the contest assumed the dignity, which it is not in the power of any thing but hope to bestow; and, if I may dare to transfer language, prompted by a revelation of the state of being that admits not of decay or change, to the concerns and interests of our transitory planet, from that moment "this corruptible put on incorruption, and this mortal put on immortality."
The rest of Wordsworth's peroration is similarly tangled in syntax and thought. Furthermore, Wordsworth seems to have retreated into a form of rationalism he had rejected in order to become the great poet of 1797-1807:
Never, indeed, was the fellowship of our sentient nature more intimately felt—never was the irresistible power of justice more gloriously displayed than when the British and Spanish Nations, with an impulse like that of two ancient heros throwing down their weapons and reconciled in the field, ... embraced each other—to solemnize this conversion of love, not by festivities of peace, but by combating side by side through danger and under affliction in the devotedness of perfect brotherhood. This was a conjunction which excited hope as fervent as it was rational.
Throughout The Convention of Cintra Wordsworth seems to have given himself over to rigid abstractions such as Patriotism, Justice, and Power, and it is possible to argue that the diminution of Wordsworth's poetic power dates from this period. If "A Letter to the Bishop of Llandaff" was derivative of Godwin, The Convention of Cintra is certainly derivative of Edmund Burke. When Henry Crabb Robinson showed a copy of Wordsworth's pamphlet to Thomas Quayle, Quayle said that Wordsworth's style resembled the worst of Burke's. The radical republican of 1793 has by this point adopted not only Burke's style but the essence of his thought as well. The transformation of his ideas seems to have cost Wordsworth his clarity of language, so apparent in "A Letter to the Bishop of Llandaff," and even the "Preface to Lyrical Ballads," which, though structurally complicated, is never obscure in the way of The Convention of Cintra.
In spite of his claim that he wrote "so few letters, and employ my pen so little in any way," Wordsworth was a prolific correspondent throughout his life, and his letters provide a useful prose fabric upon which to trace the embroidery of the poems. One brief sequence of letters from 1811 and 1812 illustrates Wordsworth's range of tone and subject in this literary subgenre. Writing on 28 March 1811 to C. W. Pasley, who had sent Wordsworth a copy of his Military Policy and Institutions of the British Empire (1810), Wordsworth said how much he enjoyed the book, which he had "expected with great impatience," and remarked that having read it carefully, he considered himself "in a high degree instructed" by the volume. Then the theorist of The Convention of Cintra began a critique of Pasley's book, which according to Wordsworth is overly pessimistic about Britain's chances for defeating France and overly belligerent in suggesting that the English must launch an all-out war of conquest, beginning in Sicily, on the European continent, planting the seeds of justice wherever the armies are successful. Wordsworth, whose life had taught him to be economically astute, saw the folly of such an expedition, and told Pasley so, in exquisite detail. In fact, one is able to gain a clearer appreciation of Wordsworth's later political thinking from this and other letters of the period than from The Convention of Cintra with its overblown rhetoric. The letter to Pasley has the considerable virtue, for the sake of Wordsworth's prose, that it is rooted in the specifics of replying to an actual text. The letter to Pasley still, however, exhibits the poet's lamentable willingness to subscribe to the clichés of nationalism: "Was there ever an instance, since the world began, of the peaceful arts thriving under a despotism so oppressive as that of France is and must continue to be, and among a people so unsettled, so depraved, and so undisciplined in civil arts and habits as the French nation must now be?" In his youth, Wordsworth, while an enthusiast of the French Revolution, had the analytic ability of a historian; by 1811 he had only the empty categories of a pedant. His idealism, adopted for the purposes of poetic composition, led him to sweeping political conclusions unfounded in reality: "The mind of the Country [England] is so far before that of France, and that that mind has empowered the hands of the country to raise so much national wealth, that France must condescend to accept from us what she will be unable herself to produce" [emphasis in original]. Wordsworth argued that Pasley's scheme is unnecessary because the mind and hands of England would produce the economic defeat of the French. There is, as has been noted, considerable economic acumen in this letter, though the commonsense insights are continually undercut by the rhetoric in which they are couched.
Another side of Wordsworth is revealed in a 6 February 1812 letter to the early of Lonsdale: "I regret that it is not in my power to wait upon you personally; as the experience which. I have had of your Lordship's gracious manners would have rendered quite pleasing to me the delicate task, which, through the means of a Letter, I am undertaking not without some reluctance." Wordsworth's self-consciousness clings to every word, as well it might—he was asking that Lord Lonsdale consider appointing him to "any Office [that] should be at your Lordship's disposal (the duties of which would not call so largely upon my exertions as to prevent me from giving a considerable portion of my time to study)...." Though he had to wait more than a year, in 1813 Wordsworth was appointed, under Lonsdale's patronage, to the post of Distributor of Stamps for Westmorland and Penrith.
On Wednesday evening, 2 December 1812, William Wordsworth wrote to his friend Robert Southey about the death of Thomas Wordsworth, the poet's six-year-old son, the previous day. The simplicity and directness of this letter communicate Wordsworth's sorrow with great power and integrity:
Symptoms of the measles appeared upon my Son Thomas last Thursday; he was most favorable held till Tuesday, between ten and eleven at that hour was particularly lightsome and comfortable; without any assignable cause a sudden change took place, an inflammation had commenced on the lungs which it was impossible to check and the sweet Innocent yielded up his soul to God before six in the evening. He did not appear to suffer much in body, but I fear something in mind as he was of an age to have thought much upon death a subject to which his mind was daily led by the grave of his Sister.
Thomas was the second child of William and Mary Wordsworth to die in childhood. Catherine had died the previous June, a few months before her fourth birthday.
In late 1812 Lord Lonsdale proposed that he provide one hundred pounds a year for the support of Wordsworth and his family until a salaried position became available. Wordsworth was at first somewhat reluctant to accept the patronage, but he accepted, and on 8 January 1813 he wrote to acknowledge receipt of payment. He was relieved when the post of Distributor of Stamps was offered to him a few months later. With this assurance of economic security, the Wordsworths moved to Rydal Mount, the poet's final home, in May 1813. Lonsdale's gift and patronage marked a deepening of the relations between the aristocratic earl and the formerly radical republican and supporter of revolution in France and democracy in England. Politically, Wordsworth had completely transformed himself; poetically, he repeated earlier formulas and began rearranging his poems in a seemingly infinite sequence of thematically organized volumes.
Other than letters and miscellaneous notes, Wordsworth's political prose writings conclude with Two Addresses to the Freeholders of Westmoreland (1818). These have been described by one critic as "nearly unreadable," but they are crucial to an understanding of Wordsworth's entanglement in local and national politics. As Distributor of Stamps, Wordsworth should not have engaged in electioneering, but his two addresses back the local nobility in no uncertain terms. By this time, Wordsworth had come to believe that the only way to preserve the virtues celebrated in "Michael" and other early poems was to maintain the traditional social orders of English society. Fully the Tory mouthpiece, Wordsworth argued that the Whigs had put too much faith in human nature, as they (and he) did at the commencement of the French Revolution. The Two Addresses praise Edmund Burke for just those values Wordsworth had earlier excoriated. By this time Wordsworth had fully incorporated Burke's system of beliefs into his own, and several passages of the 1850 Prelude are redolent with Burkean sentimental and political philosophy.
Wordsworth's last major work in prose represents a return to his earliest interest in the land and scenery of the English Lake District. In 1810 artist Joseph Wilkinson published Select Views in Cumberland, Westmoreland, and Lancashire , with an introduction by Wordsworth. In 1822 Wordsworth returned to his introduction, expanding it into a book most commonly known as A Guide through the District of the Lakes, which continues to be republished in a variety of editions. Wordsworth's love of his native region is evident in the Guide, which remains useful for the reader of Wordsworth's poetry as well as for the tourist of the Lake District.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge died in 1834, and, though the men had grown apart, Wordsworth continued to pay particular attention to Coleridge's erratic first son, Hartley, a minor poet and biographer who haunted the Lake District on "pot house wanderings," to use Wordsworth's memorable phrase. Hartley, the child addressed in Coleridge's "Frost at Midnight" and Wordsworth's "To H.C. Six Years Old," as well as the basis for the child represented in the Immortality Ode, was a feckless figure beloved by the local farmers, and Wordsworth took a special interest in seeing to his welfare. Hartley died in 1849, only a few months before Wordsworth, who instructed that his friend's son be buried in the Wordsworth plot in Grasmere Churchyard. "He would have wished it," said Wordsworth.
In 1843 Wordsworth was named poet laureate of England, though by this time he had for the most part quit composing verse. He revised and rearranged his poems, published various editions, and entertained literary guests and friends. When he died in 1850 he had for some years been venerated as a sage, his most ardent detractors glossing over the radical origins of his poetics and politics. Wordsworth's prose, while not extensive and often difficult, reveals the poet's historical context. A careful reading of Wordsworth's prose will lead, perhaps, to a clearer understanding of the path he traveled from the eighteenth century to the Victorian age, and modern readers will recognized the origins of their own literary and political culture.

Poet Categorization
If you disagree with this poet's categorization, make a suggestion.
Discussing prose written by poets, Joseph Brodsky has remarked, "the tradition of dividing literature into poetry and prose dates from the beginnings of prose, since it was only in prose that such a distinction could be made." This insight is worth bearing in mind when considering the various prose works of the poet William Wordsworth. For Wordsworth poetic composition was a primary mode of expression; prose was secondary. Wordsworth seems to have written prose mostly in order to find a structure for his poetic beliefs and political enthusiasms. Over the course of a prolific poetic career, in fact, Wordsworth produced little prose, though he did compose two works of lasting general interest, one on poetics—"Preface to Lyrical Ballads"—and the other on the landscape of his native region—his tourist handbook, A Guide through the District of the Lakes, which retains more than a local interest as geographical background to his poems...

Ever fantasized about being Godzilla? King Kong? Mothra? Ghidora? Rodan (the pterodactyl, not the painter)? Baragon? Gamera? Mecha-Godzilla? Son of Godzilla? Super Godzilla? Space Godzilla? Well, regardless of which city-destroying kaiju you've always wanted to be, destroying these hyper realistic 3D puzzles will help.
Daron Toys official site
I remember constructing a few puzzles growing up. Nothing fancy like these though. What do you think of these?
What is the age recommendations? My daughter loves puzzles, but at 4.5, might be too young. TIA
Will these ship in time for xmas?

As previously noted by another moderator for Plus items:
This is the tag you'll see on products designed to arrive for the holidays.
For Woot Plus items, I would always advise picking upgraded shipping to be absolutely certain, but then I am quite a nervous wreck when it comes to shopping so close to the holidays. Generally these holiday tags won't be found on plus items because the sale tends to run several days and what may be true for buyers on Friday may not be true for people waiting to buy on Monday or Tuesday when the sale ends.
tl; dr: Shop early, consider upgraded shipping.
Are these designed to be built once only, or can these be taken apart and built over again?
Y'know, 3D puzzles cover a range from cardboard to http://www.art45.com/Berrocalrichelieu1.html -- it's tough to get a feel for this one based on "13 pieces".
"This set includes 111 pieces"
Why do I found this very hard to believe ?
I was wondering what exactly these things are like. Legos? Plastic models?
I found these videos which show a guy assembling the Empire State Building (CF048H) set. They appear to be sturdy paper/cardboard models that fold and snap into place. Watch the videos to get a better idea of what these sets are as far as materials and build quality:
Part 1: http://youtu.be/URSDsjbtLEM
Part 2: http://youtu.be/QXUpayCHpgg
"Not included: Mitt Romney"
I could have too much fun with the RMS Titanic 3D puzzle.
Am I crazy?? There's no way to order more than one puzzle of a different type??
gkholbrook wrote:Am I crazy?? There's no way to order more than one puzzle of a different type??
i feel like we don't know each other well enough for me to weigh in on your first question, but as for the second....
no. i know that's wacky and it makes purchasing cumbersome, but unfortunately, you'll have to place multiple orders if you want to buy more than one kind of puzzle. (as always, you unlock free shipping after your initial purchase.)
How do these compare to Wrebbit 3D puzzles? The Wrebbit puzzles are amazing.
EDIT: Oops - reviewed based on misunderstanding of the product description. Now I'm not sure these are the same as the awesome puzzles of the same buildings I've done in the past. Move along, nothing to read here.

on how she feels after back-to-back WSL titles:
I'm really pleased. I didn't think we played that well today but we got the three points which was the most important thing. I'm really pleased for the players, all the staff, and everyone who works behind the scenes at the club. They make us what we are, and that is once again a title-winning team.
on winning the league before facing Birmingham:
Last year it went down to the last game, and nerves can play a part. The biggest difference this year was the number of fixtures we had around that last game which was always going to make it harder. This game was always going to be tough because we've had Champions League matches either side of it. The fact we've been able to do it today is fantastic.
on winning the league in front of the home fans:
The fans have played a massive role. They're so supportive. We had quite a few come to Barcelona away this week. They follow us wherever we go really. To do it [win the league] in front of everyone here was a great feeling and something that we hoped to do. We're so glad we've ended up doing it.
on fixture congestion helping to build momentum:
A little bit, yes. We talk so much about how we've got a really strong squad, and we've been able to utilise that in the last couple of weeks. We'll continue to do that for the last three games.
on whether she will let the team celebrate:
Yes! They'll have a bit of a celebration but then it's back to business. The fact the Barcelona game is on Thursday helps a little bit because we get that extra day break. They're professional - I'm sure they'll celebrate but it's back to business tomorrow.
on sustained success:
My team are winners. It's not really about me. It's something that is generated throughout the whole club and through Vic Akers' era. It's just the club as a whole. When people come into it, it's what they have to buy into. You're either a winner or you leave. That's been one of the biggest differences for us this year. The younger ones are starting to really grasp that and they've pushed onto the older ones - the future is bright.

I've had some issues with President Obama since his election - in fact, I was saying to my partner the other day that if Gallup called me, I'm not sure I'd say I approve of his performance at all. But I have liked the way that he's handled the Henry Louis Gates situation: he called it what it was, he didn't back down on his central points, and he took proactive action to move the situation forward.
Unlike some, I actually like his framing of it as "let's all have a beer". I'll admit that there are some class implications, and maybe the focus should be solely on this "teaching moment". But I think that it's it cools the situation slightly, makes it less intimidating and more accessible. White folks who react defensively to the situation because of the race issues involved will be able to identify with the slowed pace and calmer tone of the situation, and it's my hope that it will help them to identify with the situation and learn from it. Even the articles which (perhaps problematically) focus on beer to the exclusion of race help others to access it in a more familiar and comfortable way, and perhaps that will help them to understand the racial issues at hand.
[All of the above may be my white privilege at work, though. It's also colored by the perspective of an avid beer lover.]
Having said that, I really objected to the inclusion of Vice-President Biden in the ballyhooed conversation:
The addition of Mr. Biden was interesting, for a number of reasons. Mr. Biden was able to draw on his credibility with blue-collar, labor union America and his roots in Scranton, Pa., to add balance to the photo op that the WhiteHouse presented: two black guys, two white guys, sitting around a table.Question: Why do we need to have a white guy to make white folks more comfortable?
The beer thing I have less of an objection to because it's both deliberate and organic. Having a beer together is natural cultural language for hanging out and being comfortable, and it kept the flames of the controversy from being stoked into a blaze. It's framing that does a lot to continue the conversation in a productive way without devaluing the race issues at hand.
And frankly, that's enough of a concession.
Making sure that there are equal white guys and black guys in a conversation about racism smacks of cries of "reverse racism". White people must insist that they are fairly represented and have just as much power as the black guys. It fails to acknowledge that the heart of the discussion is about a distinct LACK of power on the part of some people.
Furthermore, all of the men have a distinct stake in this. What real and prescient reason is there to include Biden? He hasn't been a part of the national conversation on this. Why have a notably garrulous man there to take attention from the principals active in the situation?
Another question I have: IF racial balance were so vital here, why not include one of the other principals in the situation: Lucia Whalen?
One definitively positive facet of Biden's participation is the inclusion of a non-drinker in a meeting so focused on beer and alcohol. I'm not an abstainer, but I have issues with how ingrained drinking is into the culture - it's almost made mandatory. Considering that alcholism is a disease, this is problematic.
I do see the working-class roots, but ... Obama has pretty working-class roots. Though his parents were well-educated, his mother frequently lacked money and he was largely raised by his grandparents, who were not rich. People talk about how elite Obama is, but that's a function of racism: he was not given the same advantages as a George W. Bush, a John Kerry, an Al Gore. Biden also came from middle-class roots; only his education (University of Maryland, Syracuse) was less elite than Obama's, and Biden's is nothing to sneeze at.
Also, Gates doesn't exactly have a privileged background. His father worked at the paper mill, and his mother cleaned houses. He's obviously on a grand stage now, but that doesn't mean that he's divorced from a economically unprivileged perspective. And if we're just talking about class privilege now...uh, I think Biden has everyone except Obama beat there.
What do you think?

These include International films from Israel, Denmark, China, India and many other countries.
We also have a special relationship with a number of art and film schools in New York City, which has given us access to many generations of talented and creative filmmakers.
Our venue, Anthology Film Archives, is a pioneering film museum in a historic building that's been renovated to include a 187-seat theater with a superb sound system. There will be two evening shows each day. Filmmakers from around the world will be attending the festival and Q&A sessions moderated by prominent film figures.
Our award, the Manny, a disc shaped replica of a NYC manhole cover is awarded to the best filmmakers and takes the lid off of independent film.
Take Two is a product of Salon Ciel, an art gallery that was founded eight years ago by Asher Bar Lev & David Rheingold. In April of 2013 Take Two staged its second film festival. Its 2nd annual festival was noted by the New York Times, Washington Square News, Westview and many other papers.
Members of the press are given free admission after sending RSVP to firstname.lastname@example.com. We look forward to having you at Take Two. Our film program will soon appear on TakeTwoFilmFestival.com, save the date!

Quote: Again, a lot of this is just to help me think things through....so, how is training empty hand, including groundfighting, more practical?
Quote:You have said on a couple occasions that one of the reasons you train groundfighting/bjj is you train for "worst-case" scenario. To me, one major worst case scenario is the opponent has a weapon.
Quote:If we agree that we are not voluntarily getting into fights, that it is by far best to walk or run away, then the only confrontations we get into are absolutely unavoidable.
Quote:Who is to say if you will need a weapon and know how to use it in these situations? Nowadays, even your friday night kegger fights often involve weapons, let alone some obviously deranged guy attacking you in the grocery store parking lot.
Quote:I understand this is just your opinion, but I value your opinion. I have read many of your posts and find you to be intelligent and possess practical common sense, so I am curious and am asking you to go a little more in depth into why you feel empty handed training in all 3 ranges is important but weapons training is not.

Those topics are covered here, too.Red Hat currently provides two distributions, both documented in this book.

where is the beef?

Comments about oreilly Learning Red Hat Enterprise Linux & Fedora, 4th Edition:
i dont understand who is the intended audience for this book.it touches on all the necessary topics but if you are not doing an absolutely plain vanilla installation on a very new computer, you will not find the info you are looking for. (example network admin tool, what is the real name of this tool so i can run it from the command line?).and if you are doing an absolutely plain vanilla installation on a very new computer you wont need to use this book, so why read it?i personally am very disappointed this book is in the fine tradition of showing pretty pictures and providing no actual depth of information.too bad.

It's the home stretch for the 12 Beers of Christmas 2013 beer review series and it's already 2014. Yeah, I should've had this series finished a while ago but… I didn't. I do hope you all had a safe and happy New Year though.
St. Bernardus Christmas Ale, Brouwerij St. Bernardus, 10% ABV
The beer pours out a dark brown color, like mahogany, with a beige colored, long lasting head. The aroma is perfumy, fruity, and malty. The flavor has dark fruit notes (raisins and dates), with a peppery yeast quality, malty, with medium-low hop bitterness. There's also a noticeable alcohol quality that isn't boozy but is pleasant. The body is medium-high, the carbonation is high, and the finish is dry.
St. Bernardus Christmas Ale is one of my favorite beers regardless of what time of the year it is. It has a layered and complex malt flavor that has delicious dark fruit quality that is balanced by its soft alcohol quality. For a 10% beer, it's pretty smooth as well. Man, this is delicious!
Yeah, I wasn't able to finish up the review series in 2013. I ended up getting pretty hammered at my brewery holiday party, and hungover the following day, I just couldn't find it in myself to review a beer. Then New Year's Eve hit and well… we all just drank, everything. So, here it is, a great beer to start the new year.
Happy New Year!

This One Takes The Cake
Ms. Ellen Degeneres and Guest
You are cordially invited to the wedding of
Catherine Elizabeth Middleton
William Arthur Philip Louis
Friday April 29, 2011
At Westminster Abbey
Reception to follow at Buckingham Palace
RSVPs & Regrets
The Queen of England
I'm sure by now you've heard that Ellen Degeneres is evidently a 15th cousin of Kate Middleton. Okay, do we needed to make this wedding production any more Hollywood than it already is?
I have been wanting to write a piece on the royal wedding, but I just couldn't get interested in the royal couple. Maybe because they've been dating almost ten years. What's new to write about?

Should I buy a suit? I live in Thailand where I can get decent suits for less than $100 US. But if suits are not necessary then I won't bother. If I can get by with nice pants and a business shirt, fine. I'll only be there a year and there's no way I'll use them after Korea.
Thanks so much,

Listen to Taylor Swift on iHeartRadio | Listen to One Direction on iHeartRadio
Well, we knew this was coming. Right after the news broke of the splitting up of Taylor Swift and Harry Styles, otherwise known as 'Haylor,' social media (especially Twitter) exploded about the break-up heard 'round the world. Trending on the blue bird, worldwide for a short time, was the hashtag #haylorbreakupsongtitles.
If Taylor hasn't started working on her next album already, it looks like she has some song titles to start off with. Here are a few of the best Haylor break-up song titles floating around Twitter, using the trending hastag.
Breaking up is hard to do and it's too bad it couldn't work out, but some of these song titles are very creative. Take a look:
1. "Wrong Direction"
2. "He wasn't my Style"
3. "Some Styles aren't meant to be Taylor'd"
4. "Ex-Factor"
5. "The Boy with the Ship Tattoo"
Don't worry, the One Directioners didn't forget about their beloved Harry. Take a look at the song titles they provided for him to use - should he ever want to write a Haylor break-up song of his own:
"Welcome to the Club" - Harry Styles feat. Joe Jonas, Taylor Lautner, John Mayer, Jake Gyllenhaal and Conor Kennedy
"We Told You She Was Trouble" Harry Styles feat. Joe Jonas, Taylor Lautner, John Mayer, Jake GyllenHaal and Conor Kennedy
Will any of these titles actually make it into the next album? Only time will tell. Until then, we wish Taylor and Harry only the very best.
