From the introduction by Seamus Heaney:

Wordsworth's power over us stems from the manifest strength of his efforts to integrate several strenuous and potentially contradictory efforts. Indeed, it is not until Yeats that we encounter another poet in whom emotional susceptibility, intellectual force, psychological acuteness, political awareness, artistic self-knowledge and bardic representativeness are so truly and responsibly combined.

He is an indispensable figure in the evolution of modern, a finder and keeper of the self as subject, a theorist and apologist whose preface to Lyrical Ballads 1802 remains definitive.

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.
