Introduced by James Rebanks, The Lake Poets is a beautiful anthology which showcases some of the best writing from 'The Lake Poets' and celebrates the isolated beauty of the English Lakes.

Inspired by the spectacular pastoral landscapes of the region, William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Robert Southey, Dorothy Wordsworth, and Charles Lamb are best remembered for their incredible depictions of the English fells, lakes, and coastlines, which continue to enchant visitors from around the world.
Here, through their selected writings, we are reminded of the lasting influence that this exquisite place has on this famous group of writers.
The book includes such favorites as Wordsworth's "I Wander'd Lonely as a Cloud" and Coleridge's "Kubla Khan." It has 44 poems, an excerpt from Dorothy Wordsworth's journal, and a brief biography of each poet.
The anthology is rounded off by a personal and insightful introduction by James Rebanks, charting the radical roots of the poets, Rebanks's own growing appreciation of their work, and the legacy of the poems.

About William Wordsworth

William Wordsworth (1770–1850) was an English poet born in Cockermouth, Cumberland, and a founding figure of English Romanticism. With Samuel Taylor Coleridge he co-authored Lyrical Ballads (1798), which included a Preface in its 1800 edition. His long autobiographical poem The Prelude, composed over much of his adult life, was published posthumously in 1850. Other works include Tintern Abbey, Ode: Intimations of Immortality, and the sonnet The World Is Too Much with Us. He was appointed Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom in 1843.
