He addresses concerns that are relevant today, such as how the growing number of visitors, and the money they might bring, would affect such a small and vulnerable landscape. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt is now understood that Wordsworth's notion of the Lake District as 'a sort of national property, in which every man has a right and interest who has an eye to perceive and a heart to enjoy', expressed in his \u003cem\u003eGuide\u003c\/em\u003e, gave a rationale for the foundation of the National Trust in 1895 and the establishment of the Lake District National Park in 1951. Furthermore, the 2017 nomination document for the Lake District as a World Heritage site quotes this phrase in recognition of Wordsworth's contribution to the idea that 'landscape has a value, and that everyone has a right to appreciate and enjoy it'. We can now see how Wordsworth's \u003cem\u003eGuide\u003c\/em\u003e has had a far-reaching influence on the modern concept of legally-protected landscape. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFirst published in 1810 and repeatedly revised by its author over the ensuing twenty-five years, William Wordsworth's \u003cem\u003eGuide to the Lakes\u003c\/em\u003e has long been considered a crucial text for scholars of Romantic-era aesthetics, ecology, travel writing, and tourism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Wordsworth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/20\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford World's Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.4lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.72h x 5.15w x 0.45d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198848097","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46939932065929,"sku":"9780198848097","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_cbed6ffe-fcb4-4e76-aca5-49cebf1e4a80.jpg?v=1781660946","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/guide-to-the-lakes-9780198848097","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
