Description
In a famous scene in Wordsworth’s autobiographical poem The Prelude, the young Wordsworth steals a boat from the base of Stybarrow Crag. In this view, the crag is depicted with a rowing boat in the foreground: a direct allusion to Wordsworth’s poetry, even though Wordsworth isn’t mentioned. The combination of poetry and photography made Stybarrow Crag a destination for many tourists.
