I would like to use "ethos" for a behavioral code under a strong influence of Max Weber's Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism. I will trace in this paper what a romantic ethos is like by looking into Wordsworth's poetics and politics reading through his poems, letters and some prose works, especially A Guide through the District of the Lakes and "Essay on Moral". In the previous paper did I point out a fact that though the Lakes seems to be a fringe district in England, Wordsworth would not stand on fringe but pseudo-centre in his spirit. All starts out of this recognition. Main attention will be paid to his attitude towards Catholic affairs, because it will show a formation of his ethos under strong bias of his conservative attitude to English history and his contemporary social conditions. Another strong attention will be paid to his Guide through the District of the Lakes because I take it for the most important work of all his poetical and prose works showing his fundamental politics clearly. He seems to try to establish counter-ethos against the prevailing rational and scientific ethos of the Industrial Revolution but for all his intention his ethos could never be a counter-ethos because of his conservative basic politics. To make my intention clearer, I would like to make use of two figures.
