Representing Rustics: Satire, Countersatire, and Emergent Romanticism
Chapter
Abstract
In 1808 William Wordsworth wrote to Samuel Rogers thanking him for his charity donation to the orphans of Grasmere. He also happened to mention a recent publication of mutual interest to the correspondents on the general topic of sympathy for the rural poor: “I am happy to find we coincide in opinion about Crabbe’s verses; for Poetry in no sense can they be called.”
