The Wonderful Year

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

In 1796 Samuel Taylor Cole ridge took his family to live in Nether Stowey in the Quantocks. Early in the following year he was joined by William and Dorothy Wordsworth.
There followed one of the most creative periods in both poets'lives. 1797 was. as Coleridge said later, an Annus Mirabilis. This is an account of that year.
