At the time of the Peninsular War, William Wordsworth wrote three sonnets urging the Basques to react against the Napoleonic invasion of their land. This essay aims to interpret these intriguing poems, which are approached from a comparative perspective.

Contrasting Wordsworth’s poetic view with our insight of the Basque cultural inheritance will display the extent and character of the Romantic transference of ideas as well as the interrelation of the historical events in a European framework.
