William Wordsworth was born in 1770 in Cumberland.
An orphan whom the unroofed school of Nature
attracted more than the discipline of the classics was one
of the pioneers of the Romantic Revival. He is also
known as a lake district poet and belongs to the first
generation of romantic poets. He was brought up and
educated in the beautiful lake region. The second period
of his life begins with his university education at
Cambridge in 1787. He wrote many poems including
The Prelude, The Excursion and The Recluse. The best of his
works appeared in the Lyrical Ballads published in 1798.
He was made poet laureate after poet Robert Southey‟s
death. In the last half century of his life William
Wordsworth retired to his beloved lake district , where
he was born. He lived so close to nature that her
influence is reflected in all his poetry. William
Wordsworth worshipped Nature and believed that
“Nature never did betray the heart that loved her”.
Wordsworth saw a reflection of the living God in every
natural object. Nature for him is transfused and
illuminated by Spirit. Man is also a reflection of the
divine Spirit. The spiritual appeal of nature is expressed
in every line of his poem “Tintern Abbey.
