The Poetical Works of Wordsworth
Description
In The Excursion, Wordsworth describes a village church. He probably based his description on St Oswald’s Church in Grasmere, but he doesn’t mention it by name. This book includes a photograph of the church next to the relevant passage of poetry, making the identification clear. This shows how photographically illustrated editions used photographs of the local area to interpret Wordsworth’s poetry.
