Coleridge and Wordsworth: Walking Tour
with Dr Rebecca Hutcheon

This guided tour will connect a key work of English literature, and two key figures of British Romanticism, to the city which produced them.

In 1798, a revolutionary book was published in Bristol, Lyrical Ballads, which altered the landscape of English writing. Though the book appeared anonymously, the identity of the authors soon emerged: William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge who had been living in Bristol and the South West while the book was written. On the 225th anniversary of Lyrical Ballads Vol. II, this walk will take in some of the key sites connected to Wordsworth, Coleridge and their revolutionary poems. Led by Dr Rebecca Hutcheon.
