William Wordsworth documentary

William Wordsworth (7 April 1770 - 23 April 1850) was an English Romantic poet who, with Samuel Taylor Coleridge, helped to launch the Romantic Age in English literature with their joint publication Lyrical Ballads (1798).
Wordsworth's magnum opus is generally considered to be The Prelude, a semi-autobiographical poem of his early years that he revised and expanded a number of times. It was posthumously titled and published by his wife in the year of his death, before which it was generally known as "the poem to Coleridge".
Wordsworth was Poet Laureate from 1843 until his death from pleurisy on 23 April 1850.

I am currently having a weekend in the daffodil hotel only meters away from his house and grave. Ignorantly I know very little about this man so as I sit here in the Hotel lounge, sipping a beer and watching the rain over the lake and mountains, I’m grateful and enjoying this video.. thank you so much 😊

[@shakiian]

Wow. You're so lucky!❤😍

[@petercrossley1069]

A delight to hear an cultivated voiceover and someone who can make the poems come alive.

[@binghamguevara6814]

With a name like Words-worth, he was destined to be a poet.

[@andreaschneider6202]

@binghamguevara6814 Thank you for your comment. I actually had thought of that point a few years ago. Best wishes😊

"The Ruined Cottage" is my favorite Wadsworth poem. Beautiful and haunting.

The documentary video is praise worthy

[@dipendragahamagar2386]

Glad to get good information about William Wordsworth ❣️

[@cheri238]

William Wadsworth always has been one of favorite poets. Alas, I know his history , his life's story. A song that will live in my heart forevermore. Finally I may add, thank you for this documentary, extraordinarily done well . Wisdom. ❤️❤️

[@brianhill5009]

It's Wordsworth!! Odd that even though he is one of your favorite poets, you can't spell his name correctly.

[@jpkatz1435]

I found the music wonderfully integrated with the narration. Much thanks for the very successful effort.

[@helenamcginty4920]

Thanks for the heads up. I hate incidental music over the spoken word. And judging by the introduction I might enjoy it as music but not as a distraction.

Very nice video. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@tracesprite6078]

That was very interesting and I learned a lot that I hadn't known before.

[@lisettelampe1684]

Professor Sogol, english is not my native language , but I will try to answer your polite comment. The music is very strong, overpowering overwelming it kills me I don t want to listen to it because we have nothing in common . Instead I would like to walk with the poet, his poems in my hand and experience understanding and fondness. In this wayI I try to understand and enjoy foreign literature

[@travelert4427]

Thanks a lot for such fantastic informative viddeos. I wish you could prepare some videos about some prominent literary figures like Oliver Goldsmith, Thomas Hardy, and Robert Browning. Best regards I am a foreign learner of English

[@lisettelampe1684]

I stopped watching the video because the music irritated me so much. Why is it inpossible to stop the music and only listen to the text ?

[@mikejohnson599]

yes your young and wanted rap music as a background

[@heatheredwards163]

I agree! Whatever the music these days it's always hyped in some way to cause anxiety. Even classical music. Would have loved to watch more.

[@jamesaritchie1]

@@heatheredwards163 If such music causes anxiety, you need to see a shrink.

[@jamesaritchie1]

Because only about one person in ten thousand lacks the mental acuity to enjoy the music with the text, which is the norm. In case you hadn't noticed, nearly ALL documentaries, indeed, nearly all movies and TV shows, etc., have background music. This is because the music adds to the enjoyment, and even to the retention and comprehension, for ordinary, balanced, intelligent people. I strongly suggest you go read a book. No background music, only text and pictures

[@jandolin]

It is remarkable to find this gem of a documentary in the filth of today's popular culture.

Does anyone know the piano trio playing in the background? Cheers.

[@chessematics]

Would you kindly name the music used in this video? Want to have a listen. 29:13 knew it! It had to be Beethoven.

No sé por qué la escritura de los subtítulos en español es tan desprolija. No hay signos de puntuación, mayúsculas, etcétera...Además de los errores de escritura de las palabras. Es una falta de respeto al lenguaje escrito y es una tortura leerlos.

[@votemonty1815]

A cottage is an ideal location for writers.

[@AuthorDocumentaries]

I can attest to that

[@jamesaritchie1]

In what way? I've known a great many writers, and none preferred cottages. A cottage, particularly in the historical sense, is a place writers lived because they couldn't afford anything better. Solitude when writing is good for most writers, but isolation is not, and they are very different things. The writer and his cottage is an idealized, romantic view of what was most often an uncomfortable, unhappy place endured not for love, but for lack of money. I've written in many places, from beaches and hotels, to isolated log cabins with no electricity or plumbing, to an absolutely wonderful ocean capable houseboat on the Ohio River, to a year long stint in the deep wilderness, to a large, roomy home office. I loved writing in all these places, but there's writing, and then there's life when away from writing. Cottages may be fine when actually sitting down and writing, but they are a curse when the writing is over and it's time to live life.

Clearly the girl and his daughter did not mean anything to him after all since he had an inherited income, homes, took vacations, with it being common for anyone who wanted to travel between England and France easily yet he couldnt be bothered to see them one time in 7 years. His business.

He got a poor woman pregnant and dumped her. Then he sponged on others and wrote poetry.

[@jamesaritchie1]

This is a common theme with poets of the time, and all too often today. But just as in politics, too many think morality, decency, and character don't matter. These things are seldom even mentioned, and certainly never applauded, in most documentaries or biographies. The theme seems to be, "I don't care what a piece of human excrement he was, he could write great poetry so all else is meaningless." Though this attitude often reflects the life and beliefs of those making the documentaries and writing the biographies, as much as it does the life and beliefs of the subject.

Just started looking into Wordsworth after hearing one of his poems recited by Leo Kern in the first episode of 'Rumpole of the Bailey'. I"ll take your input into consideration on my WW journey. Thank you and God bless ❤

What a selfish man he was.! Not likeable !

[@lisettelampe1684]

Ugly music is boring and disturbing.

[@judyannstreich7499]

It really interfered with the narrative & reading of the poetry.

[@professorsogol5824]

The music is by Wordsworth's contemporary, Ludwig van Beethoven (both born 1770), popular at the time and listened to by Wordsworth himself. Many of the images are by J M W Turner, another contemporary of Wordsworth, all helpful in establishing the ambiance of the time.

[@gauravkr1102]

®~ Tintern Abbey was not his property. William Wordsworth was just a useless interupter that too without any ears.

[@lohkoon]

WW was a bit of a nut-case --- he retired to the countryside--- and started speaking as if nature has a mind --- oh goodness --- {Romaticism almost destroyed English poetry --- a cluster of poets left the city and sang of nightingales and daffodils and clouds --- a few left for the countrified places in Greece and Italy --- there seems to be nothing else to write about --- }
