Wordsworth's own remarks on the purpose of poetry, which he termed 'the most philosophical of all writing' and whose aim is 'truth.carried alive into the heart by passion,' may best explain its virtually universal appeal. Wordsworth's poetry is still widely read today. In 1842, he was an award-winning poet and got a government pension the following year. Beaumont, and De Quincy during this time, produced poetry like 'Elegaic Stanzas inspired by a Picture of Peele Castle' (1807).

He also formed new connections with Walter Scott, Sir G. The poems 'Resolution and Independence' and 'Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood' were featured in Poems in Two Volumes, which were published in 1807. Wordsworth's most famous poem, 'I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud' was written at Dove Cottage in 1804. In 1802, Wordsworth married Mary Hutchinson, and a year ago, the second and enlarged edition of the Lyrical Ballads was published. Who Was William Wordsworth? He produced several of his most famous poems at this time, as well as traveling to Germany with Coleridge and Dorothy. Following the receipt of a bequest in 1795, Wordsworth moved to Alfoxden, Dorset, near Coleridge, with his sister Dorothy. When he returned to England, he penned his Letter to the Bishop of Llandaff, a treatise in support of the French Revolutionary cause, but it was never published. He fell in love twice in France: once with Annette Vallon, a young French lady who later bore him a daughter, and then again with the French Revolution. He attended Penrith Grammar School and subsequently Hawkshead Grammar School before enrolling at Cambridge, in 1787. Wordsworth was the son of an attorney and was born in the Lake District. William Wordsworth was one of the most powerful of England's Romantic poets who was born April 7, 1770, England.
