William Wordsworth's Golden Age Theories During the Industrial Revolution, Hardback Book

William Wordsworth's Golden Age Theories During the Industrial Revolution Hardback

Part of the Studies in Modern History series

Hardback

Description

Wordsworth's romantic critique of industrial life and society was backward-looking.

His 'Golden Age ideal' of pastoral life and rural relationships falls within the scope of English 'populism' as found among the middle ranks of small independent producers and their idealogues.

Furthermore his rural education and up-bringing in the remote North of England explain his long-term shift from radical and whig reformer to tory placeman in the years 1789 to 1832 as well as his relative demise as a poet.
