| Blue Plaque: Wordsworth's Stamp Office, Ambleside, Cumbria UK in Blue Plaques William Wordsworth worked from this office, as Distributor of Stamps for Westmorland, whilst living at Rydal Mount. The £400 a year from this post made him financially secure, the acceptance of a government job by the former radical was seen as a betrayal. As Robert Browning wrote in The Lost Leader: "Just for a handful of silver he left us." Wordsworth compounded his treachery, in the eyes of the younger generation of poets, by campaigning for Tory politicians in the 1818 and 1820 elections. posted by: flipflopnick location: United Kingdom date listed: 10/8/2006 last visited: never |
