The Romantic Lakes from Wordsworth to Beatrix Potter

Jonathan Bate follows the 18th-century 'inventors' of the picturesque which lead to the creation of the National Trust and the idea of the National Park. A lecture by Sir Jonathan Bate, Gresham Professor of Rhetoric 11 December 2018 https://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-an... When Daniel Defoe rode through the Lake District in the early 18th century, he described the area as ‘the wildest, most barren and frightful of any that I have passed over in England.’ But for Victorians such as Matthew Arnold and John Ruskin, the Lakes offered a landscape of supreme beauty. How did this change come about? Jonathan Bate will follow in the footsteps of the 18th-century inventors of the ‘picturesque’ and show how Wordsworth shaped the vision of his native region, leading to the foundation of the National Trust and the idea of a National Park.
