Extractions: British poet, who spent his life in the Lake District of Northern England. Wordsworth started with Samuel Taylor Coleridge the English Romantic movement with their collection LYRICAL BALLADS in 1798. When many poets still wrote about ancient heroes in grandiloquent style, Wordsworth focused on the nature, children, the poor, common people, and used ordinary words to express his personal feelings. His definition of poetry as "the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings arising from "emotion recollected in tranquillity" was shared by a number of his followers.

Wordworth's Arguments Against The Kendal And Windemere Railway
Brief article from Mount Holyoke College, on writings from william wordsworth, who opposed anything that generated more visitors to the Lake District.
http://www.mtholyoke.edu/courses/rschwart/rail/workingcopiesmmla/railfinals/word

Extractions: Wordsworths Arguments Against the Kendal and Windemere Railway In 1844, the proposed Kendal and Windermere rail line threatened to violate William Wordsworth's precious lakes district. He responded with a literary campaign against the line. Wordsworth wrote poems and letters that were published in the Morning Post to gain the support of the public and specifically address the members of the Board of Trade and the House of Commons. In his letters, Wordsworth is: Clearly representing a minority, he speaks with both a sense of his arguments limited popular authority, overriding sense of its rightness notwithstanding, and a desire to extend this authority as possible into the public sphere ( Mulvihill In his first letter to the Morning Post published on October 16, 1844, Wordsworth first claimed that there was no need for a rail in close proximity to the Lakes district. He stated that there were no manufacturers, quarries nor a substantial agriculture base to warrant the intrusion. After refuting the need, Wordsworth turned on the main argument for introducing rails into the district: The projectors have induced many to favor their schemes by declaring that one of their main objects is to place the beauties of the Lake District within easier reach of these who cannot afford to pay for ordinary conveyances ( Mulvihill Wordsworth understands that the corporate faction need only to prove the utility of a rail for it to be taken seriously, he writes Utilitarianism, serving as a mask for cupidity and gambling speculations (

http://www.malaspina.com/site/person_1205.asp

Extractions: Born 7 April 1770 in Cockermouth, Cumberland, to the steward of an estate, Wordsworth's early life was relatively hard. His mother died when he was eight, and the next year he was sent to attend the principal grammar school of the district at Hawkshead where he was solidly educated. Only four years later, however, his father died, and the boy found himself an orphan at the age of thirteen. Through so disjointed a childhood, according to his own account, he was thrown much on his own resources, developing an early fondness for the beauty and sublimity of the Lake District that touched the core of his life and his beliefs. In 1787 he matriculated at St. John's College, Cambridge, where he was an indifferent student. In the same year, however, he published his first poem, a sonnet that appeared in the respectable European Review . Still, at this early point no one could have predicted the development that a decade later would make Wordsworth the spokesperson for a revolution in English poetry. In the summer vacation of 1790, indulging his republican sympathies, he and a classmate took a walking tour through revolutionary France. He returned to France after his graduation in the following year and in Orléans had a romantic liaison with Annette Vallon, by whom he had a daughter, Caroline, in December 1792. But the political tensions that erupted into war between England and France in February 1793 forced him to return to England before she was born, and he did not see her until the start of the new century, during the Peace of Amiens, when she was nine. Returning to France at that point, he established financial arrangements providing for his daughter's education.

Extractions: Wordsworth, William William Wordsworth (1770 - 1850), the great English Romantic poet, was born in Cockermouth, England. His sister Dorothy was born a year later. In 1799, while on a walking tour through the Lake district with Coleridge , he chanced on Dove Cottage in Grasmere Vale, which Dorothy and William then rented, and lived in from the end of 1799 until 1808. Perhaps Wordsworth's most famous lines are these: I wandered lonely as a cloud
William Wordsworth. Wordsworth's Solitary Figures. English Literature Essays, Co
An essay examining the solitary figures in william wordsworth's Lyrical Ballads. By Catherine Cooper.
http://www.english-literature.org/essays/wordsworth.html

Extractions: William Wordsworth 1770-1850 Most of the characters who appear in Wordsworth's poetry are solitary in some way; there are none who appear to be the sociable type which can be found in the poems of other Romantic poets, such as Byron's Don Juan , and Childe Harolde . The reason for this is perhaps that Wordsworth himself was quite a solitary person; although he appeared to enjoy the company of a select few, for example his beloved sister Dorothy, he seemed to be happiest when he had only Nature for company. Wordsworth's preference for his own company seems to have been a characteristic which began in early childhood. In his writings about childhood experiences in The Prelude he was often alone, as in the incident of the stolen boat (1. 356-400), or if he was in company, would stand apart for a while to consider nature, as in the ice skating incident (1. 415-462). Further examples of his solitary nature as a child are provided by the poems

Extractions: "Wordsworth," Matthew Arnold wrote in 1864, "was himself a great critic, and it is to be sincerely regretted that he has not left us more criticism" (238). Twentieth-century opinion has tended to agree with Arnold's statement, both in its assessment of Wordsworth's importance as a literary critic and in its recognition of the relatively small body of work on which his critical reputation stands. Although Wordsworth made numerous critical observations on literature in his letters, in his notes on his poems dictated to Isabella Fenwick, and even in his poetry itself (especially his 14-book epic The Prelude ), his contribution to critical theory resides primarily in the preface to Lyrical Ballads (1800) and the preface to Poems (1815) and in the Essays Upon Epitaphs Wordsworth is generally regarded as the central English Romantic poet, distinguished for his radical innovations in poetic theory and practice, which have been seen as anticipating modernism. To the second edition (1800) of his Lyrical Ballads (originally a collaboration with Samuel Taylor Coleridge ), Wordsworth added a preface in which he explained the poetics of his sometimes unconventional verses. The poems were written as an "experiment," he said, to determine to what extent "a selection of the real language of men in a state of vivid sensation" might be suitable for poetry (
