In this episode ofThe Mad Genius Thesis Podcast, we exploreWilliam Wordsworth: A Biography by Juliet Barker, an in-depth look at Wordsworth’s life, literary career, and struggles with mental health. From his education at Cambridge and travels in France to his lifelong friendship with Coleridge and the creation ofLyrical Ballads, Wordsworth reshaped poetry with a focus on emotion, nature, and the human condition. We examine how his own experiences with depression influenced his writing and how his ideas on creative visualization later shaped cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). We also discuss Dorothy Wordsworth’s mental decline, her deeply personal letters and journals, and the poetic expressions of her suffering. How can Wordsworth’s poetry help us rethink mental illness and emotional resilience today? Join us as we uncover the transformative power of poetry, imagination, and human empathy.
