The Reverend Hardwicke Drummond Rawnsley (one of the founders of the National Trust) noticed that very little interest had been taken in Tennyson's works or fame in the part of Lincolnshire where he lived, in the houses of either rich or poor.
Moving to the Lake District, Canon Rawnsley, as he later became known, decided to ask around among local people who had known Wordsworth and his family, and to set down what they told him in their words, or as close as possible to their dialect.
This paper was further revised in 1902, but Rawnsley's Reminiscences of Wordsworth among the Peasantry of Westmoreland (it was reprinted by Dillons in 1968) is not at all remote from its subject, as long as we understand that subject to be Wordsworth in old age.
