  • Welcome!

    This course forms the introductory module to our studies of the Lake District poets. We will be investigating the  general background to the three main poets, Wordsworth, Coleridge and Southey and choosing one poem from each in particular. If you enjoy the course, consider opting for our Romantic Poetry module later in the academic year.
