First, what is a lake poet?
Lake poets is a representative of early English romanticism. It refers to a school of poetry formed by Wordsworth, Coleridge and Southey, three poets living in Cumberland Lake District in northern England. Because the three of them once lived in seclusion in Cumberland Lake District, northwest England, and lived on the two lakesides of Grassmill and Windmeier successively, they praised the lakes and mountains with poems, so they were called "Lake Poets".
Lake Poet refers to an early school of English Romantic Movement in the19th century. The main representatives are Wordsworth (1770- 1850), Coleridge (1772- 1834) and Southey (1774- 1843).
Second, creativity.
The preface written by Wordsworth and Coleridge for the second edition of Lyric Songs and the appendix of the third edition of Poems reflect the artistic thoughts of Hunan poets. On the theme of poetry, they advocate writing about the daily life of the lower class, emphasizing the poet's inner exploration and natural expression of feelings;
Their works show their feelings for the lakeside landscape, praise nature and cherish the memory of the Middle Ages, so as to express their dissatisfaction and hatred for the real society. In the aspect of poetic style, it advocates carrying forward the artistic tradition of folk poetry, adopting folk spoken language and exerting the poet's imagination.
Iii. Characteristics and Significance
Wordsworth's short poems are fresh, and his long poems are fresh and profound, which is contrary to the plain and elegant style of neoclassicism and creates a fresh and lively romantic poetry style.
His sonnets are magnificent, and his Overture (1805) is the first time to write autobiographical Growth of a Poet's Mind in verse, which has created a new style in content and art.
Wordsworth's poems about nature are beautiful and moving, and a prominent feature of his poems is that they are full of emotions and scenes. This style is reflected in the author's choice of theme, language, meter, style and vocabulary. He not only founded this theory, but also personally practiced it.
