Wordsworth, the leading figure of Huxiang poets, experienced great ups and downs-his early ardent yearning for the French Revolution turned into a worship of nature that later disappeared in the landscape, and he achieved epoch-making innovation in poetry art, so that some people called him the first modern poet.
He is a great poetic theorist. Although his main work is only the preface to the second edition of Lyric Songs (1800), that essay contains explosives that can destroy18th century classicism.
He said that poetry must contain strong emotions, which excludes all games and games; Poetry must be written in ordinary and vivid real language, excluding "poetic rhetoric" and cliches.
Wordsworth believes that "all good poems are natural expressions of strong feelings", advocates that poets "choose the language that people really use" to write "events and scenes in daily life", and opposes the "poetic rhetoric" represented by Gray in18th century.
He then discussed the lofty status of poetry and poets, and thought that poetry was something that could not be underestimated. "Poetry is the starting point and end point of all knowledge, which is as immortal as the human heart", while poets are "the strongest protectors, supporters and defenders of human nature". Everywhere he went, people's friendship and love were broadcast. "
