This playful mockery took aim at William Wordsworth’s poetic style, anticipating the release of Wordsworth’s actual Peter Bell. Reynolds, deeply embedded in the literary culture of the time, crafted his parody with a mix of irritation and amusement, especially targeting the solemn tone and rustic simplicity that had come to…
