English Romantic poet William Wordsworth marked a significant turning point during the 19th Century in the history of English literature. He celebrated the splendour of nature and human spirit, a theme echoed through his poetry and in joint collaboration with Samuel Taylor Coleridge the publication of “Lyrical Ballads”.

Wordsworth was born on April 7, 1770 in Cockermouth, Cumbria, close to the heart of the English Lake District. This Georgian market town is one of the most beautiful areas of England that made a significant affect on Wordsworth's imagination, giving him the love of nature.

A few major works of Wordsworth are: An Evening Walk, Descriptive Sketches , Lyrical Ballads, Poems in Two Volumes, The Excursion, The Prelude

Wordsworth was the recipient of Honorary Degrees from Durham University and Oxford University and was the Poet Laureate of England. To this day Wordsworth is synonymous with Romanticism in England and the world over.

The new Wordsworth series brings a fresh, modern style in a mid size, superbly balanced fountain pen. With a slight taper to the barrel end and a gently rounded cap top, the Wordsworth brings the flat top design into the twenty first century, while still holding true to the classic styling cues that made the original Conway Stewart pens famous during the 1920s. This new regular edition will soon be available in a choice of several elegant finishes throughout the world and details of this new series will be released in our future newsletters.

Available exclusively to members of our Collectors Club, Conway Stewart is making the Wordsworth model in the striking Blue Ripple Ebonite. Only 100 pieces will be made and orders will be fulfilled on a first come first served basis. This colour will not be repeated on this model thereafter and will not be available as a bespoke pen.

Hard rubber or Ebonite, it has been a staple material for the manufacture of fine writing instruments since the late 1800s. Our choice of ebonite material is driven by our desire to offer you a true link to the golden era of classic fountain pens, coupled with a thoroughly modern design. The Blue Ripple Ebonite material warms to the touch as you hold it and delivers a combination of tactile and visual excitement.
