Tell me about William Wordsworth
Answers
Answer:
William Wordsworth (7 April 1770 – 23 April 1850) was an English Romantic poet who, with Samuel Taylor Coleridge, helped to launch the Romantic Age in English literature with their joint publication Lyrical Ballads (1798).
Answer:
The poet William Wordsworth was born in Cockermouth, Cumberland on 7 April 1770. Much of his poetry was inspired by the dramatic landscapes of the Lake District, and his work did much to alter public perceptions of that part of England.
His sister and lifelong companion, Dorothy, was born in 1771. They were looked after by relatives after the early death of their parents. Between 1787 and 1790, William studied at Cambridge, spending holidays walking in the lakes and trekking across revolutionary France to the Alps.
