Wordsworth, William
Wordsworth, William (1770–1850) English poet, a leading figure of
Romanticism. He collaborated with Samuel Taylor
Coleridge on
Lyrical Ballads (1798). The collection concluded with Wordsworth's poem “Tintern Abbey”. His preface to the second edition (1800) outlined the aims of English Romanticism, which through the use of everyday language enabled “the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings”. Critics derided his style. In 1799, he and his sister Dorothy moved to the Lake District; his poetry always bound up with a love of nature.
The Prelude, a long autobiographical poem, was completed in 1805, but only published posthumously in 1850. After
Poems in Two Volumes (1807), which includes “Ode: Intimations of Immortality”, it is generally recognized that his creativity declined. In 1843, he succeeded Robert
Southey as
poet laureate.
