It is interesting to note that another writer, Washington Irving, much younger than
Wordsworth and who had actually met native people, described them quite differently,
'The Indians I have had an opportunity of seeing in real life are quite different from those
described in poetry... Taciturn they are, it is true, when in company with white men, whose
goodwill they distrust and whose language they do not understand; but the white man is
equally taciturn under like circumstances. When the Indians are among themselves, they are
great mimics, and entertain themselves excessively at the expense of the whites... who have
supposed them impressed with profound respect for their grandeur and dignity... The white
men (as I have witnessed) are prone to treat the poor Indians as little better than animals.'
Questions:
(b) who is the author of this passage? How did he describe a native?
GE) How did William Wordsworth and French philosopher Rousseau view the natives
differently?
