Wordsworth elaborated on this idea in the ''Preface'' to the 1800 and 1802 editions which outline his main ideas of a new theory of poetry. Wordsworth emphasizes his commitment to writing in the ordinary language of people. In the preface he discussed on the subject matter of poetry, definition of poetry, what is a poet?, the function of poetry and the theory of poetic diction very briefly.

In the preface to Lyrical Ballads, William Wordsworth explains his theory of poetry. He argues that literary tricks and devices such as personification make it difficult for writers and readers to speak simply and directly about their feelings. He hopes to combat this with his work.

He was born at Cockermouth which is actually outside the Lake
District.
So he known as lake poet also.
He got education from Cambridge ,St John College (1787-1791).

difference, was now winning its way, and recognition was general.

INTRODUCTION OF WORDSWORTH
3. He records that his earliest verses were written at
school, and they were ‘’a tame imitation of Pope’s
versification.’’
HIS POETRY:
An Evening walk(1739)
Descriptive Sketches
Lyrical Ballads (1798)
4. Lyrical Ballads(1798)is a joint production Coleridge and himself,
which was published at Bristol.
This volume is epoch-making ,for it is the prelude to the Romantic
movement proper.
Wordsworth had the larger share in the book.
In this book poems like The Thorn and The Idiot Boy ,are
condemned as being trivial and childish in style.
Simon Lee, Expostulation and reply, are more accepted in their
expression.
The concluding piece is Tintern Abbey which is one of the great
achievement of his genius.
5. During the years 1798-99Wordsworth composed some of his finest
poems, which appeared in 1800,together with his contributions of the
Lyrical Ballads.
Most noteworthy among them are
Michael
The Old Cumberland
Beggar
She dwelt among the
untrodden ways
Strange fits of passion have I
known
Nutting
6. ‘The Prelude’ was intended to form part of a vast
Philosophical work called The Recluse which was never
completed.
Another section of this same work was The Excursion
His later volumes include
The
Waggoner
The white
Doe of
Rylstone
Peter BellYarrow
Revisited
The
Borderers, a
drama
7. In the preface to the 2nd edition of the Lyrical Ballads(1800),he set out
his theory of poetry.
It reveals a lofty conception of the dignity of the art which is ‘’the breath
and the finer spirit of all knowledge ,which is product of ‘’the
spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings'', taking its origin from
‘’emotion recollected in tranquility’’.
General views on the poet and his art, Wordsworthian dogma(belief) can
be divided into two portions 1)the subject 2)the style of poetry.
HIS THEORY OF POETRY
8. 1)Regarding subject,wordsworth declares his preference for ‘’incidents
and situation from common life’’:to obtain such situations, ‘’humble&
rustic life was generally chosen ,because in that condition the essential
passions of the heart find a better soil in which they can attain their
maturity.’’
2)His views on poetical style are most revolutionary of all the ideas in
this preface. Discarding the ‘’gaudiness and inane phraseology of many
modern writers,' he insists that his poems contain little poetic diction,
and are written in ‘’a selection of real language of men in a state of vivid
sensation.
His views on poetic diction he summed up with these
words: ‘’there neither is nor can be any essential difference between the
language of prose and metrical composition.’’
9. The first line of the poem(Daffodils)
‘I wandered lonely as a cloud,
That floats on high o’er vales and hills’
oThis line refers that the poet was walking around the hills and valleys, but felt
all lonely and mopy.
oThe poet describes by this line that how he walked around and felt as lonely as
a cloud.
o‘’wandered ‘’means roaming around without a purpose, like when you explore
something .
oSo it is not necessary a bad thing, but in its metaphorical use ,’’wandered' can
mean feeling purposeless and directionless in general.
oAs in ,you have question like ‘’what is the meaning of my life?’’
HOW PAIN & HUMAN MISERY
REFLECT IN HIS POETRY

Love story of her relation with a man Stephen Hill
