Wordsworth's parents died when he was a child. Wordsworth was brought up by relatives. He and his sister Dorothy have lived in the lake area in northern England for a long time and lived an idyllic life. He was deeply influenced in temperament, and a close relationship was established between natural scenery and his feelings. Even natural phenomena that people are accustomed to have an unusual charm for him. He has formed the habit of roaming on foot between Shan Ye since he was a child. As I walked, I carefully examined the styles of rocks and nymphs and the rich business of flowers, birds and cordyceps. With the inspiration of poetry, he conceived it all the way and wrote it when he got home. When he was young, he traveled to France, Switzerland, Italy and other places. It is said that he walked about 300,000 kilometers in his life.
1798, he and Coleridge, another poet living in the same area, published a collection of lyric songs he wrote. This collection and this preface caused a revolution in the form and content of poetry, and initiated the romantic era in the history of English literature.
Wordsworth's affection for nature is so deep and passionate that only poetry can express it. Before coming of age, he wrote a long poem praising his hometown. After that, he wrote almost all his life's poems, leaving a lot of works. Among them, the most popular are those beautiful and moving lyric poems, especially those describing natural scenery. His poems, like the nature he saw, are naturally muddy without carving. In the choice of theme, he did not pursue novelty, and got rid of the tendency of one-sided emphasis on solemnity and elegance in18th century English poetry, but "chose the events and plots in ordinary life" and "humble rural life as the theme". It is to express this theme that he "tries to use the language that people really use from beginning to end". He believes that vivid folk language comes from experience and is full of emotion. "It is more permanent and philosophical than the language used by ordinary poets to replace it." At the same time, he introduced Wordsworth more flexibly and freely in the form and rhythm of poetry. Except for some sonnets, he seldom adopts the strict metrical form commonly used by classical poets. Therefore, his beautiful lyrics are fresh, hearty and touching; The voice is melodious, smooth and natural.
