William Wordsworth

    7. April 1770 – 23. April 1850

    William Wordsworth war ein bedeutender englischer romantischer Dichter, der zusammen mit Samuel Taylor Coleridge das romantische Zeitalter in der englischen Literatur einleitete. Seine Werke zeichnen sich durch eine tiefe Auseinandersetzung mit Natur, Erinnerung und der menschlichen Seele aus, wobei oft die Kraft von Emotionen und Vorstellungskraft betont wird. Wordsworth setzte sich für eine poetische Sprache ein, die näher an der Alltagssprache lag, und machte die Poesie so einem breiteren Publikum zugänglich. Seine Schöpfungen beeinflussten maßgeblich die moderne Lyrik und sein Einfluss ist bis heute spürbar.

      Wordsworth's visionary intensity and simplicity of style made him one of the most popular Romantic poets. Wordsworth's major theme was the influence of nature on man, and this was explored and expounded to great acclaim through the Lyrical Ballads . These remain a landmark in the history of English romanticism for their innovative, elementary style and their treatment of familiar objects and ordinary people. As a young man Wordsworth was inspired by revolutionary ideals and heartfelt passions which influenced his poetry. With great lucidity he wrote a range of celebrated sonnets, evocative odes, and majestic blank verse. He was a great innovator and his poetical works have permanently enlarged the range of English poetry, both in subject matter and in execution. This book contains every piece of verse known to have been published by the poet himself, including the 1850 text of The Prelude .
