William and Dorothy Wordsworth were writing some of their most beautiful poetry and prose, while Coleridge\u2019s marriage was in a state of near collapse.\u00a0Professor Lucy Newlyn\u2019s new book Vital Stream draws on a detailed knowledge of letters, poems, notebooks and journals to explore their thoughts and feelings about love, family bonds, friendship and creativity at this time. In this lecture, Lucy will read from her collection and describe how she has re-told a famous love story for a modern audience, in sonnet-form.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Lucy Newlyn is an academic and a poet, and was Fellow and Tutor in English at St Edmund Hall, Oxford for 32 years before retiring in 2016.
