Leslie Norris has stated that for boys growing up in Welsh schools in the early twentieth century, Romantic poetry was the norm in the school curriculum. This study traces the influence of Wordsworth on five Anglo-Welsh poets of the twentieth century: William Henry Davies, Huw Menai, Idris Davies, R. S. Thomas and Leslie Norris. More specifically, this study traces not only the professed influence of Wordsworth on some of these writers, but also textual similarities (P?). Appendix A. An interview of Leslie Norris by phone on 14 May, 1998 (194).
