From his childhood to his death in 1850, this striking portrait, taken from letters adn autobiographical fragments carefully selected by Juliet Barker, reveals the revelious schoolboy who became a supporter of the French Revolution, the radical young poet who rose to be a revered patriarch, and the intensely private man who loved adn cared deeply for his family.
