Drawing on published letters & diaries of Wm & Dorothy Wordsworth & of their contemporaries Coleridge & Southey, this biography of the poet's life & times also draws on the author's knowledge of the Lake District, which formed so strong a part in Wordsworth's life. Davies discusses Wordsworth's relationship with his sister, Dorothy; tells the story of his affair with Annette Vallon, the French mother of his child; & describes in detail Wm's life with his wife, Mary, concluding that he fell in love with her only after a decade of marriage. The book portrays family life at Grasmere & Rydal, Wordsworth's politics, the formative meeting with Coleridge & his travels.
