O Joy for me

Keir Davidson

Samuel Taylor Coleridge and the Origins of Fell–Walking in the Lake District 1790-1802 

  • Coleridge was the first person to walk the mountains alone, and not because he had to for work, as a miner, quarryman or shepherd, but because he wanted to for pleasure and for adventure. His rapturous encounter with their natural beauty, and its literary consequences, changed our view of the world. 
  • This beautifully illustrated book contains an account of his walks and explorations in the Lake District based on the jottings in his notebooks and his vast correspondence.
