| Abstract: | Wordsworth's direct acquaintance with Italy during his most creative years was very slight. His Continental tours of 1790 and 1820 included brief visits to the Italian Alps (and, the second time round, to Milan). But his most comprehensive visit to the country was delayed until 1837, when the discomforts of coach travel in a cholera-stricken land (not to mention the late hours kept up by his travelling-companion, Henry Crabb Robinson), made the whole experience somewhat wearisome to the ageing poet, - though his letters home are a conscientious record of what he saw and felt. |
