What did William Wordsworth experience during his 1790 walking tour of revolutionary France?

During his 1790 walking tour of revolutionary France, William Wordsworth became deeply caught up in the passionate enthusiasm that followed the fall of the Bastille. This experience transformed him into an ardent republican sympathizer.1

While the 1790 tour is often associated with his travels through France, it is worth noting that he and a friend also hiked through the Alps during this same period, where he famously observed Mont Blanc and the Chamonix valley. These formative experiences in France and the Alps were later reflected in his autobiographical work, The Prelude.21
