		In their critique of modern society the Lake poets, in common with so many nineteenth century critics, tended to idealize the medieval period.

		Perhaps this is why, when I am called upon to name my favorite writer associated with the so-called "Lake Poets" of the 1800's (William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Robert Southey, sometimes Percy Bysshe Shelley), I will tell you that I like Thomas deQuincey.
		From there he went to live in a cottage in the Lake District where he began his associations with the famous poets about whom he would later reminisce.
		My favorite deQuincey book is the aforementioned Recollections of the Lakes and the Lake Poets, in which he dishes on both the good and bad qualities of the literary masters, recognizing the public's taste for tell-all and presaging the frankness of more modern biographies.
