Qian,Introduction,William Wordsworth,(7 April 1770 23 April 1850),was a major English Romantic poet who,with Samuel Taylor Coleridge,helped to launch the Romantic Age in English literature with their joint publication Lyrical Ballads(1798).Wordsworths magnum opus is generally considered to be The Prelude,a semiautobiographical poem of his early years that he revised and expanded a number of times.It was posthumously titled and published,before which it was generally known as the poem to Coleridge.Wordsworth was Britains Poet Laureate from 1843 until his death in 1850.,Introduction,The second of five children born to John Wordsworth and Ann Cookson,William Wordsworth was born on 7 April 1770 in Wordsworth House in Cockermouth,Cumberland,part of the scenic region in northwestern England known as the Lake District.His sister,the poet and diarist Dorothy Wordsworth,to whom he was close all his life.They had three other siblings:Richard,the eldest,who became a lawyer;John,born after Dorothy,who went to sea and died in 1805 when the ship of which he was captain,the Earl of Abergavenny,was wrecked off the south coast of England;and Christopher,the youngest,who entered the Church and rose to be Master of Trinity College,Cambridge.,Introduction,Wordsworths father was a legal representative of James Lowther,1st Earl of Lonsdale and,through his connections,lived in a large mansion in the small town.He was frequently away from home on business,so the young William and his siblings had little involvement with him and remained distant from him until his death in 1783.However,he did encourage William in his reading,and in particular set him to commit to memory large portions of verse,including works by Milton,Shakespeare and Spenser.William was also allowed to use his fathers library.William also spent time at his mothers parents house in Penrith,Cumberland,where he was exposed to the moors,but did not get along with his grandparents or his uncle,who also lived there.His hostile interactions with them distressed him to the point of contemplating suicide.,Wordsworth made his debut as a writer in 1787 when he published a sonnet inThe European Magazine.In the same year he began attending St Johns College,Cambridge.,The year 1793 saw the first publication of poems by Wordsworth,in the collectionsAn Evening WalkandDescriptive Sketches.In 1795 he received a legacy of 900 pounds from Raisley Calvert and became able to pursue a career as a poet.,It was also in 1795 that he metSamuel Taylor Coleridgein Somerset.The two poets quickly developed a close friendship.In 1797 Wordsworth and his sister Dorothy moved toAlfoxton House,Somerset,just a few miles away from Coleridges home inNether Stowey.Together Wordsworth and Coleridge(with insights from Dorothy)producedLyrical Ballads抒情歌谣集(1798),an important work in the EnglishRomantic movement.One of Wordsworths most famous poems,Tintern Abbey丁登寺,was published in this collection,along with Coleridges The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.,Creative career,Between 1795 and 1797 Wordsworth wrote his only play,The Borderers,a verse tragedy set during the reign ofKing Henry III of England,when Englishmen in the North Country came into conflict with Scottish rovers.He attempted to get the play staged in November 1797,but it was rejected by Thomas Harris,the manager of the Covent Garden Theatre,who proclaimed it impossible that the play should succeed in the representation.The rebuff was not received lightly by Wordsworth and the play was not published until 1842,after substantial revision.,During the harsh winter of 179899 Wordsworth lived with Dorothy inGoslar,and,despite extreme stress and loneliness,began work on the autobiographical piece that was later titledThe Prelude序曲.He wrote a number of other famous poems in Goslar,including The Lucy poems露西.,In 1807 Wordsworth publishedPoems in Two Volumes,including Ode:Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood.,In 1814 Wordsworth published The Excursion as the second part of the three-part work The Recluse,even though he had not completed the first part or the third part,and never did.,Creative career,Marriage and children,In 1802 Lowthers heir,William Lowther,1st Earl of Lonsdale,paid the 4,000 pounds owed to Wordsworths father through Lowthers failure to pay his aide.It was this repayment that afforded Wordsworth the financial means to marry.On 4 October,following his visit with Dorothy to France to arrange matters with Annette,Wordsworth married his childhood friend
