His 'Daffodils' poem beginning “I wander'd lonely
as a cloud” is the quintessential Lake District poem.
William Wordsworth
Introduction
This article explores the development of lake district poems in the eighteenth century in relation to the emergence of prose fiction, arguing for a less novel-centred perspective in eighteenthcentury literary history and for a a more inclusive, media-oriented approach to the study of literary genres in general. The spectacular landscape of the Lake District has been a huge influence on some of England's best-known writers. In particular the Romantic poets of the late eighteenth and nineteenth century such as William Wordsworth, Samuel Coleridge, Thomas de Quincey and John Ruskin were hugely affected by their surroundings.Also many children's authors have drawn inspiration from the landscape, such as Beatrix Potter, Arthur Ransome and even the creator of Postman Pat.Another hugely influential writer on the Lake District is Alfred Wainwright, author of many walking guides to the area.The Lake Poets were a group of English poets who all lived in the Lake District of England, United Kingdom, in the first half of the nineteenth century. As a group, they followed no single "school" of thought or literary practice then known. They were named, only to be uniformly disparaged, by the Edinburgh Review. They are considered part of the Romantic Movement.The three main figures of what has become known as the Lakes School were William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Robert Southey. They were associated with several other poets and writers, including Dorothy Wordsworth, Charles Lamb, Mary Lamb, Charles Lloyd, Hartley Coleridge, John Wilson, and Thomas De Quincey.
