Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Poets Country The purpose of this volume, as the title indicates, is to trace the relations of poets with the aspects of "their ain countrie," or with the scenes where they built their homes, or pitched their transient camps. "A wanderer is man from his birth," Mr. Matthew Arnold writes, and the habits of many poets have been nomadic. There is little of his native Devonshire in Coleridge; Sussex has no conspicuous part in the making of Shelley; the Muse of Byron is influenced rather by the Mediterranean than by Dee and Don. But other poets are home-keeping, like Wordsworth and Scott; their favourite scenes are those among which they were born and spent their years of boyhood and their later lives. Tennyson, too, had a strong attachment to his native "Brook" - in which, if The Millers Daughter be autobiographic, he was a very idle angler - and to the level wastes of the Lincolnshire fen country.
