Biography
Robert Woof is Director of The Wordsworth Trust.
'Don't be put off by the price ... or anything else, from getting your hands on Robert Woof's - William Wordsworth: The Critical Heritage, Volume One 1793-1820 (Routledge). At first hearing, that may sound only half a book. Another volume is promised but, believe me, the present one describes more indelibly than ever how the poets and then the painters met together in Dove Cottage to celebrate the genius of Wordsworth. Robert Woof's special gift is to see how each depended on the other.'
