A Literary Guide to the Lake District
Ref: LKD128
Grevel Lindop Sigma Press
160 pages A5 Paperback
Published 2005
This new edition has been fully revised and updated and includes material based on original local and historical research not generally available. It follows five major routes; each is divided into shorter sections by subheadings, clearly laid out, with easy-to-follow maps and clear, detailed directions. Indexes of places and of people make it easy to find the literary associations between them.Visitors to the Lake District may already know that William Wordsworth and his sister Dorothy moved to Dove Cottage, Grasmere in 1799. But they may not know where to find the places they wrote about, the walks they took and the views they loved. This book will guide readers to all these places, and to those that inspired Wordsworth’s friends and followers Coleridge, Thomas De Quincey, Keats, Shelley and many more.The values portrayed in Wordsworth’s poem The Excursion, were to attract the well-known artist, critic and ecologist John Ruskin to the Lake District many times before he finally settled at Brantwood in 1872. In his wake came H D Rawnsley (who with Beatrix Potter founded the National Trust), W G Collingwood (Lakeland archaeologist and historian) and his friend Arthur Ransome. Thomas Hardy and Dickens, Edward Thomas and D H Lawrence, Hugh Walpole, Wainwright and Melvyn Bragg have all been inspired or stimulated by the Lakes, and their literary locations and adventures are chronicled here place by place.
