Book Overview
This volume presents William Wordsworth's powerful political pamphlet, "Wordsworth's Tract on the Convention of Cintra," originally published in 1809. A passionate critique of the British government's handling of the Peninsular War and the Convention of Cintra in Portugal, Wordsworth's essay offers profound insights into the political and moral landscape of early 19th-century Europe.
Included are two letters written by Wordsworth in 1811, providing further context to his views and revealing his engagement with contemporary events. Republished here with an introduction by Albert Venn Dicey, this edition makes Wordsworth's important work accessible to a new generation of readers interested in British history, political thought, and the writings of one of England's greatest poets. "Wordsworth's Tract on the Convention of Cintra" remains a compelling example of the intersection between literature and political activism.
