British Romantic poet William Wordsworth book from his personal library, signed clearly ''W Wordsworth'' on title page. Wordsworth spearheaded the Romantic poetry movement in England along with Samuel Taylor Coleridge and others in the 19th century, becoming known for his 1798 collaboration with Coleridge entitled ''Lyrical Ballads.'' Book is written in French and titled, ''Causes celebres et Interessantes avec Les Jugements Qui Les Ont Decidees / Redigles de nouveau par M. Richer, ancien avocat au Parlement, Tome Premiere.'' Published ''Chez Michel Rhey'' in Amsterdam in 1772 as a volume of legal judgments by various authors. Wordsworth lived in France, becoming engrossed in the Revolutionary Republican movement. He fell in love with a French woman, Annette Vallon, who in 1792 gave birth to their child, Caroline. Front fly leaf has notes written in French, though not identifiably in Wordsworth's hand. Book is split into two parts and the front board is detached. Very good condition otherwise.
