Recensioner i media

'"They put the Lake District at the heart of the English literary imagination," writes Rebanks in a thoughtful introduction to this anthology. The Cumbrian farmer who shot to fame with A Shepherd’s Life reminds us that, far from being fops wandering lonely as clouds, the Lake Poets were radicals. One for thoughtful readers.'
