Through The Wordsworth Country

Through The Wordsworth Country (1982) by William Knight – Crappy Old Books Edition

Step into the misty hills and mossy lanes of the Lake District with Through The Wordsworth Country by William Knight — a nostalgic wander through the landscapes that inspired England’s most brooding bard. First penned in a more romantic century and reissued in 1982 by Sonnenschein, this is a lovingly overwritten, occasionally pompous, yet thoroughly charming guide to the poetic stomping grounds of William Wordsworth.

Expect scenic ramblings, poetic name-drops, and the kind of scholarly enthusiasm that only a Victorian academic could muster. It’s part travelogue, part literary pilgrimage, and 100% the kind of book you buy from Crappy Old Books when you’re in the mood for damp fells, daffodils, and a little second-hand soul-searching.

Condition: A bit foxed, possibly smells like a second-hand tweed jacket.
Recommended for: Poets, wanderers, armchair ramblers, and fans of overlong sentences.

good binding. I have reinforced some inner joins with glue, but quite discretely.
