The Wordsworth Conference Foundation
Organizers of the Wordsworth Summer Conference and Winter School
| The Rt Hon. Michael Foot PC Michael Foot who died in March 2010, was a regular lecturer at the Wordsworth Summer Conference. A leader of the Labour Party, and a scholar of Swift, Hazlitt and Byron, he was always a popular and welcome friend. He is pictured here in the 1980s, walking around the lake, pursued by the media, and at the podium. And on another occasion at a reading of 'Michael' in Greenhead Ghyll (with him at the front of the picture are Robert Maniquis, Pamela Woof, and Duncan Wu). |
