A Brief Introduction to william wordsworth's Lyric Ballads Collection

From 65438 to 0787, he entered St. John's College of Cambridge University, became familiar with Greek Latin literature, and studied Italian, French and Spanish. 1790 and 179 1 went to France twice. At that time, during the French Revolution, young Wordsworth expressed deep sympathy and yearning for the Revolution. Soon after returning to China, the situation changed greatly, and Wordsworth was disappointed with the French Revolution. From 65438 to 0795, he and his sister Dorothy and poet Coleridge lived in the lake area in the northern mountainous area and spent their whole lives there. Wordsworth and Coleridge published a collection of lyric songs in 1798, and Wordsworth wrote a preface when the collection was reprinted in 1800.

Wordsworth was not taken seriously when The Collection of Lyric Songs was published, and even more, it was opposed by critics after the preface was published. When his two volumes were published in 1807, they were still attacked by critics. But since the beginning of19th century, his achievements in poetry have been gradually recognized. Radical poets such as Leigh Hunt also called him the pioneer and leader of new poetry praising nature, saying that his poems replaced the artificial poetry style of18th century. People think that lyric songs announce the birth of romantic new poetry. Wordsworth had an artistic influence on Shelley, Byron and Keats.

1843 was named "Poet Laureate" in England, and he wrote many poems for the court, but his artistic achievements were greatly inferior.

1850 died on April 23rd.
