William Wordsworth and the English Lakes
Description
The poetry of Wordsworth is filled with the landscapes of the English Lake Country, where he was born and lived almost all his life. Wordsworth was not simply a reporter or observer of this landscape, nor does this program simply illustrate his work. Rather, it walks in his footsteps, along the paths, across the fields, through daffodil-filled meadows, beneath the azure skies and lonely clouds. Perhaps the most startling benefit of this program is its lesson about Wordsworth's poetic language. Seeing the sights he saw and hearing the words with which he described them call particular attention to the simplicity of Wordsworth's language applied to landscape that is workaday for others-yet the poet's effect is music and magic.
