In the opening essay' Wordsworth in the Tropics' he somewhat cantankerously works to disabuse us of the idyllic Wordsworthian picture of 'nature' He presents a picture of the horrors of non-hospitable nature, and ties Wordsworth 's genius to a particular latitudinal range. In the Tropics Huxley suggests there would not have been those 'intimations of immortality.

William Wordsworth
Wordsworth, born in his beloved Lake District, was the son of an attorney. His school years were later to be described vividly in "The Prelude". Wordsworth wrote many of his greatest poems after his returning from France (1795-1799), where he twice fell in love: once with a young french woman Annette Vallon, and the, once more, with the French Revolution.

William Wordsworth (7 April 1770 – 23 April 1850) was a major English Romantic poet who, with Samuel Taylor Coleridge, helped to launch the Romantic Age in English literature with the 1798 joint publication Lyrical Ballads. The Prelude; or, Growth of a Poet's Mind is an autobiographical, "philosophical" poem in blank verse by the English poet William Wordsworth. Wordsworth wrote the first version of the poem when he was 28, and worked over the rest of it for his long life without publishing it.
Poet laureate of England from 1843 until his death in 1850, William Wordsworth is often credited as being one of the founders of English Romanticism. The 1798 joint publication of Wordsworth's and Coleridge's "Lyrical Ballads" marked a turning point in English poetry, as poets began to emphasize imagination and feeling over the primacy of reason. Wordsworth's poems focused on the natural and the ordinary, as based on the 'real language of men'.
