| | William Wordsworth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Wordsworth had for years been making plans to write a long philosophical poem in three parts, which he intended to call The Recluse. | | | Though this failed to arouse great interest in 1850; it has since come to be recognised as his masterpiece. | | | The second edition, published in 1800, had only Wordsworth listed as author. |

| | A Biographical Sketch by blupete: William Wordsworth (1770-1850). |
| | Wordsworth had fond memories of her, and particularly of those winter nights by the Tyson fireside, as he was to describe in his autobiographical work, | | | Wordsworth defined poetry as follows: "Poetry is the breath and finer spirit of all knowledge; the impassioned expression which is in the countenance of all science." For Wordsworth -- and the same can also be said of Shelley, Keats, and Coleridge -- "Nature is an inexhaustible source and provocative of lovely imaginings. | | | Wordsworth's poetry was "pleasing and permanent:" Lord Byron's poetry was like its creator, possessed of "pomp and pretension." Hazlitt liken Wordsworth's poetry to that of "a vein of ore that one cannot exactly hit upon at the moment, but of which there are sure indications."83 |

| | Wordsworth's father died in 1783 while William was still at Hawkshead; he was owed some £4,000 by Sir John Lowther who refused to settle the debt. | | | In Germany Wordsworth and Dorothy stayed in Goslar where, in 1799, Wordsworth, with little translation work to hand, began work on autobiographical fragments in blank verse that were to form the basis of The Prelude (conceived as a “prelude” to the major philosophical poem, The Recluse). | | | Dorothy, who would later become William Wordsworth's most important companion, was sent to live with her mother's cousin in Halifax. |

| | William Wordsworth: A Hypertextual Biography |
| | Wordsworth refused to include "Christabel," and the 1800 edition, far from the anonymous partnership of the first, would bear Wordsworth's name and his alone. | | | Speaking of themselves and Dorothy, Wordsworth would later say, "we were three persons with one soul." Day after day, Wordsworth and Coleridge would write poetry, discuss their theories on poetry, and comment on each other's poems. | | | Southey and his fellow "Lake Poets" Wordsworth and Coleridge were attacked in print (by such people as William Hazlitt) for having abandoned their youthful ideals, and this skeleton from Southey's closet did not help matters. |

| | The Academy of American Poets - William Wordsworth |
| | Equally important in the poetic life of Wordsworth was his 1795 meeting with the poet, Samuel Taylor Coleridge. | | | While the poems themselves are some of the most influential in Western literature, it is the preface to the second edition that remains one of the most important testaments to a poet's views on both his craft and his place in the world. | | | This experience as well as a subsequent period living in France, brought about Wordsworth's interest and sympathy for the life, troubles and speech of the "common man". |

| | Island of Freedom - William Wordsworth |
| | To Wordsworth, God was everywhere manifest in the harmony of nature, and he felt deeply the kinship between nature and the soul of mankind. | | | Much of Wordsworth's easy flow of conversational blank verse has true lyrical power and grace, and his finest work is permeated by a sense of the human relationship to external nature that is religious in its scope and intensity. | | | Wordsworth wrote almost all the poems in the volume, including the memorable "Tintern Abbey"; Coleridge contributed the famous "Rime of the Ancient Mariner." Representing a revolt against the artificial classicism of contemporary English verse, Lyrical Ballads was greeted with hostility by most leading critics of the day. |

| | Hunter Davies discusses Wordsworth's much-debated relationship with his sister, Dorothy; tells the story of his affair with Annette Vallon, the French girl who was the mother of his child; and describes in detail William's life with his wife, Mary, concluding, perhaps controversially, that he fill in love with her only after ten years of marriage. | | | Drawing on the published letters and diaries of Wordsworth and his sister, Dorothy, and of their contempories Coleridge and Southey, this full-length biography of the poet's life and times also draws on the author's own knowledge of the Lake District, which formed so strong a part in Wordsworth's life as to be almost another character. | | | William Wordsworth wrote some 70000 lines of verse, 40000 lines more than any other poet. |

| | William Wordsworth. Wordsworth's Solitary Figures |
| | Wordsworth also writes about rustic characters who do not have a particular story to tell, who he appears to admire merely for their rusticity and simplicity. | | | The reason for this is perhaps that Wordsworth himself was quite a solitary person; although he appeared to enjoy the company of a select few, for example his beloved sister Dorothy, he seemed to be happiest when he had only Nature for company. | | | They are all important for different reasons, but often Wordsworth admired their solitude because it gave them more time to think about nature and their general being. |

| | William Wordsworth and Lucy |
| | The language and versification today, read in the wake of twentieth and twenty first century poetic practice may still seem archaic or conventional; but in view of the writing contemporaneous to it the content and its expression are smooth, facilitated by an overall result that is easy, pleasing, truly lyrical. | | | Lucy belongs to a world abounding in references to manifestations of nature: Lucy's "cot" under "the sinking moon", the bowers as places of play, the "wayward" rivulet and its murmurings, the "floating clouds" and the turbulent "motions of the Storm". | | | The invaluable works of our elder writers, I had almost said the works of Shakespeare and Milton, are driven into neglect by frantic novels, sickly and stupid German Tragedies, and deluges of idle and extravagant stories in verse.- [...] this degrading thirst after outrageous stimulation, [2] |
