“‘The World Is Too Much With Us’” - Dr. Jason Baxter

On May 27, 2026, Dr. Jason Baxter continued our spring college retreat by situating William Wordsworth within the English Industrial Revolution. Facing the collapse of medieval cosmology and mechanization of the world, Wordsworth refused to despair and turned to the spiritual depths of nature.
