reviewed The Hidden Wordsworth on June 18, 2020
The Hidden Wordsworth
Kenneth Johnston's biography is rich in new research and contains some revelations about Wordsworth's life. I appreciated the passages putting his life in context, in particular his father's role as a land agent for Lord Lowther, and the response to the French Revolution among intellectual circles in England.
Unfortunately, the writing style is very dense and I found it difficult to sustain interest in this book.
