William Wordsworth

Robert Southey

Alexander Pope

For many in Europe the focus has shifted West to the Americas, both by settlement and by war against the indigenous tribes and then between themselves. Democracy would be re-born by the American War of Independence. 

In the East, India becomes the stage for further expansion. 

For our wordsmiths the world had become a wider page on which to write their thoughts. 

Coleridge, Pope, Southey, Wordsworth speak with lyrical eloquence upon subjects great and small but always from the heart.
