Publisher's Synopsis
'Wordsworth and Basho' is an exhibition and book of manuscripts by William and Dorothy Wordsworth, Matsuo Basho and Yosa Buson. They are shown alongside new work by 18 contemporary UK and Japanese artists who have responded to the manuscripts, and what originally inspired them, in ways that are as fresh, creative, and radical now as the work of the Wordsworths and Basho were during their lives.
