Most people agree that Wordsworth is 'great'; it is not easy to say why. Professor Durrant sets out to show this with detailed reference to particular poems. He accepts that the great creative period of Wordsworth's life was from 1798 to 1805; that in those few years he produced the poems in which his genius was realised; that these poems express a particular vision, which later faded.
