Experiencing The English Lyric

During a summer excursion to England, students hiked the Lake District in Wordsworth's footsteps and experienced the Brontë sisters' sense of isolation on the moors.

For years, Professor Richard Gillin has been telling his students how English poetry is connected to the landscape. This summer, on a three-week trip to North Yorkshire under his direction, 12 undergraduates experienced the poetic landscape for themselves. Compiled by Tyler Barrell '00
