Answer 1

Explanation:

William WordsworthLines Written in Early Spring by William Wordsworth

In 1798, William Wordsworth, poet to Lines Written in Early Spring, was to publish a volume of poetry known as ‘Lyrical Ballads’ with his then-friend Samuel Taylor Coleridge. In 1802, they published this volume again, this time with a preface written by William Wordsworth himself, wherein he attempted to explain the reasoning for writing his poetry. He wrote, ‘what is a Poet? He is a man speaking to men’, a movement away from idealized notion of the poet having some higher aim in life and some God-ordainecd talent to write to educate others.

Lyrical Ballads was received well, and the reviews mostly erred on the side of positive, but it was only in the later years that Lyrical Ballads reached the acclaim of being the first published volume in the changing face of British literature and the herald to English Romanticism.
