Autorenporträt
William Wordsworth (1770-1850) stands as one of the towering figures in English poetry, whose work is central to the Romantic era in England's literary history. Born on April 7, 1770, in Cockermouth, Cumberland, England, Wordsworth's poetry is renowned for its celebration of nature, its focus on emotion and intuition over reason, and its philosophical underpinnings, which often explored the relationship between the human mind and the natural world. Alongside Samuel Taylor Coleridge, with whom he published the seminal 'Lyrical Ballads, With a Few Other Poems' in 1798, Wordsworth helped to launch the English Romantic movement in literature. This collection, which includes classics such as 'Lines Composed a Few Miles above Tintern Abbey' and 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner' (by Coleridge), represented a bold departure from the staid conventions of the time, emphasizing simple language and the importance of feeling and imagination. Wordsworth's preface to the second edition of 'Lyrical Ballads' (1800) is often considered a manifesto of Romantic literature, articulating the revolutionary aesthetic of poetry that draws on the 'real language of men.' His magnum opus, 'The Prelude', a semi-autobiographical epic poem published posthumously, affords a deep insight into his personal philosophy and his views on the growth of a poet's mind. A poet laureate of England from 1843 until his death in 1850, William Wordsworth's legacy is a testament to the power of a creative vision rooted in the natural landscape and the human heart.
