English Literature And A Windermere Boutique Hotel

English Literature And A Windermere Boutique Hotel

by Steven Harrison

William Wordsworth and his sister Dorothy did not live in great luxury but quite humble circumstances. They might not have enjoyed the luxury of a Windermere boutique hotel but the Romantic Movement in English poetry owes a great deal to the sights, scenes and sounds that surround such a place even to this day.

It may be due in part to the influence of writers like Wordsworth that the right to enjoy the countryside is an important part of English culture. There is hardly anything left that has not been man made but the country is quite like a carefully tended garden to which people have some access and in which they may escape temporarily from the ubiquitous surveillance cameras that afflict cities.

As one walks one can feel in the rhythm of one's steps how the poet is said to have composed lines like, 'Beside the lake, beneath the trees' catching the rhythm of his own footsteps in the verse. Of course, Wordsworth is famous for his pantheistic beliefs and in an age in which the environment is again being seen as something almost sacred the spiritual elements of romantic poetry may seem to some almost reborn in present experience.

Just as Greece has diminished in stature in modern times, so England is now often thought of as an insignificant island. However both small places have made large contributions to the world order that is emerging in the twenty-first century. In Greece the concept of democracy was born and in England a language was developed that would become second only to Mandarin as a means of human communication.

English no longer belongs to the people on the island some of whom who watch banal television shows and speak in various unpleasant accents. Polish, Chinese, Indian and other speakers have added their own distinctive and charming lilts. There are far more speakers of English in other parts of the world than there are in England. In many cases they have read Shakespeare and Wordsworth in much greater depth than Lake District locals.

Tourists from many parts of the world may seek out a Windermere Boutique hotel. It will represent for them a comfortable spot from which to sally out and enjoy the places that Wordsworth and his friends enjoyed as they were in the process of making their distinctive contributions to the language and culture of English.
