Description
'These poems put the Lake District at the heart of the English literary imagination.' James Rebanks
William Wordsworth, Dorothy Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Robert Southey and Charles Lamb - the English 'lake poets' - were famously inspired by the landscape of the English Lake District in the first half of the nineteenth century.
This beautifully produced anthology of their work includes favourites such as 'I Wander'd Lonely as a Cloud' and 'Kubla Khan,' as well as extracts from letters and journals. Introduced by James Rebanks, who grew up in the region, it is the perfect companion for visitors to the Lakes and a delightful gift for poetry lovers.

His No.1 bestselling debut, The Shepherd's Life, won the Lake District Book of the Year, was shortlisted for the Wainwright and Ondaatje prizes, and has been translated into sixteen languages. His second book, English Pastoral, was also a Top Ten bestseller and was named the Sunday Times Nature Book of the Year. Heralded as a 'masterpiece' by the New Statesman, it was shortlisted for the Ondaatje Prize, and longlisted for the Rathbones Folio prize and the Orwell Prize for Political Writing.
