About William Wordsworth

William Wordsworth (1770–1850) was an English poet born in Cockermouth, Cumberland, and a founding figure of English Romanticism. With Samuel Taylor Coleridge he co-authored Lyrical Ballads (1798), which included a Preface in its 1800 edition. His long autobiographical poem The Prelude, composed over much of his adult life, was published posthumously in 1850. Other works include Tintern Abbey, Ode: Intimations of Immortality, and the sonnet The World Is Too Much with Us. He was appointed Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom in 1843.
