The success of the page will rest largely on the contributions I receive, so if you have anything you would like for me to include on the page, please email me . Anything on Wordsworth's life and/or career is welcomed. Updates: The page of Links has been updated. The newest addition is the hypertext biography, which at the moment is sadly lacking in hypertext. The intent with the biography is that I will eventually link it to the various material I receive from contributors, as well as possibly to a few other sites on the Web. At the moment, it can be read as a relatively detailed description of the poet's life; soon, hopefully, "hypertextual" will not be a misnomer. I've also changed the text colors in the hopes of making them more readable against the background. (Please let me know if this was a good change.) Look for an update (at the latest) within a month.

Yew-Trees William Wordsworth Search all of William Wordsworth British poet, who spent his life in the Lake District of Northern England. Wordsworth started with Samuel Taylor Coleridge the English Romantic movement with their collection LYRICAL BALLADS in 1798. When many poets still wrote about ancient heroes in grandiloquent style, Wordsworth focused on the nature, children, the poor, common people, and used ordinary words to express his personal feelings. His definition of poetry as "the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings arising from "emotion recollected in tranquillity" was shared by a number of his followers. William Wordsworth was born in Cockermouth, Cumberland, in the Lake District. His father was John Wordsworth, Sir James Lowther's attorney. The magnificent landscape deeply affected Wordsworth's imagination and gave him a love of nature. He lost his mother when he was eight and five years later his father. The domestic problems separated Wordsworth from his beloved and neurotic sister Dorothy, who was a very important person in his life. Dorothy had especially fresh contact to nature. She provided Wordsworth a valuable source of thoughts and impressions for which he was usually given full credit. With the help of his two uncles, Wordsworth entered a local school and continue his studies at Cambridge University. As writer Wordsworth made his debut in 1787, when he published a sonnet in The European Magazine. In that same year he entered St. John's College, Cambridge, from where he took his B.A. in 1791. During a summer vacation in 1790 Wordsworth went on a walking tour through revolutionary France and also traveled in Switzerland.

Literature Music Visual Arts Other Google Incompetech William "The Interminable" Wordsworth William Wordsworth was born on 7 April 1770 in Cockermouth , Cumberland, the second of five children. His father, John, a lawyer, was very educated and liberal for the time, and encouraged all his children to be the same. William was definitely the wild one of the family, and his sister Dorothy , a year younger than him, was usually his only ally in the family. The Wordsworth children had a pretty happy childhood on the whole, at least until their mother, Ann, died in 1778. William was sent away (I think maybe his father couldn't handle him very well) to a grammar school some distance away . William was allowed to run wild, and became quite the young sportsman. who were very peeved at having to take care of them. They paid for William to go to Cambridge, where he did very well in his first year, but soon realized Cambridge was no place for him . He chose his own course of studies from then on, and though he did graduate, it wasn't what you would call a real degree After graduation, William wandered aimlessly through France for a time. The country was then in the early, glorious stages of the French Revolution, and William was only one of many Englishmen who were fascinated by its Republican ideals. In the city of Orleans, he met a young woman named Annette Vallon. She was a Royalist and a Roman Catholic, but you can't fight chemistry. They had an affair and Annette became pregnant. Before the child was born, however, William had to go back to England. He needed to earn money somehow, and in any case, the Revolution was starting to turn into the Terror

'William Wordsworth' William Wordsworth was born on 7 April 1770 in a fine Georgian house in Cockermouth , now called Wordsworth House . His father John was estate agent to Sir James Lowther, who owned the house. The garden at the back, with the River Derwent flowing past, was a place of magic and adventure for the young William. William has an elder brother Richard, a younger sister Dorothy and two younger brothers John and Christopher. His childhood was spent largely in Cockermouth and Penrith , his mother's home town. William and Dorothy and his future wife Mary Hutchinson attended infant school in Penrith between 1776 and 1777. William's mother died in Penrith when he was 8. His father died when he was 13, and is buried in the churchyard of All Saints Cockermouth. All Saints church rooms is on the site of the Cockermouth school that William attended as a boy. From 1779 until 1787 William attended the Grammar School in Hawkshead , lodging with Ann Tyson at Colthouse initially, then with his brothers. At Hawkshead William thrived - receiving encouragement from the headmaster to read and write poetry. During these years he made many visits to the countryside, gaining inspiration as the powers of nature exercised their influence. He then went to St John's College Cambridge, where he was not a notable student, but inevitably matured in thought and sophistication. In 1795 he received a bequest of £900 which gave hive the means to pursue a literary career.

William Wordsworth: A Hypertextual Biography William Wordsworth was born on April 7, 1770, at Cockermouth on the River Derwent, in the heart of the Lake District that would come to be immortalized in his poetry. The son of a lawyer named John Wordsworth, he was the second of five children. His father was the personal attorney of Sir James Lowther, Earl of Lonsdale, the most powerful (and perhaps the most hated) man in the area. His first formal education was at Anne Birkett's school at Penrith, where one of his classmates was his future wife Mary Hutchinson. Idyllic though his first few years may have been, Wordsworth wrote very little poetry about his early childhood. (For example, the only important incident from The Prelude which relates to the Cockermouth years is the time when Wordsworth, so young he "could scarce hold a bridle," becomes separated from his guide and is frightened to discover the semi-legendary scene of a murderer's execution. This moment is immortalized as a "spot of time" in Book XII Wordsworth's mother died in 1778. His immediate reaction to this blow is not known (he treats his mother's death rather coolly, and rather briefly, in

'Daffodils at Ullswater' Wordsworth Point, Glencoyne Bay. Grid Ref 90: NY 387190 is the bicentenary of William and Dorothy Wordsworth 's visit to Glencoyne Park - 15 April 1802-2002. It is this visit that gave Wordsworth the inspiration to write his most famous poem, 'Daffodils' On 15th April 1802, William and Dorothy Wordsworth passed the strip of land at Glencoyne Bay, Ullswater , on their way back to Grasmere after staying the previous night at Eusmere in Pooley Bridge. Dorothy wrote in her journal : 'When we were in the woods beyond Gowbarrow Park, we saw a few daffodils close to the water side. We fancied that the lake had floated the seed ashore and that the little colony had so sprung up. But as we went along there were more and more and at last under the boughs of the trees, we saw that there was a long belt of them along the shore, about the breadth of a country turnpike road. I never saw daffodils so beautiful they grew among the mossy stones about and about them, some rested their heads upon these stones as on a pillow for weariness and the rest tossed and reeled and danced and seemed as if they verily laughed with the wind that blew upon them over the lake, they looked so gay ever dancing ever changing. This wind blew directly over the lake to them. There was here and there a little knot and a few stragglers a few yards higher up but they were so few as not to disturb the simplicity and unity and life of that one busy highway. We rested again and again. The Bays were stormy, and we heard the waves at different distances and in the middle of the water like the sea'.

A mongst these visitors, fellow poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge, who lived in the next village, spent a great deal of time with them, sometimes staying at Alfoxton, when they all roamed the beautiful Somerset countryside and hills that inspired many of their finest works including Wordworth's "Lyrical Ballads" and Coleridge's "Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner". The grounds include a herb garden and also a walled Kitchen Garden, used in Wordworth's time here, where we grow the vegetables and fruit used in the cooking and also the flowers that we have all around the house.

Add to a Notebook William Wordsworth An Evening Walk and Descriptive Sketches . While living in France, Wordsworth conceived a daughter, Caroline, out of wedlock; he left France, however, before she was born. In 1802, he returned to France with his sister on a four-week visit to meet Caroline. Later that year, he married Mary Hutchinson, a childhood friend, and they had five children together. In 1812, while living in Grasmere, they grieved the loss of two of their children, Catherine and John, who both died that year. Equally important in the poetic life of Wordsworth was his 1795 meeting with the poet, Samuel Taylor Coleridge . It was with Coleridge that Wordsworth published the famous Lyrical Ballads in 1798. While the poems themselves are some of the most influential in Western literature, it is the preface to the second edition that remains one of the most important testaments to a poet's views on both his craft and his place in the world. In the preface Wordsworth writes on the need for "common speech" within poems and argues against the hierarchy of the period which valued epic poetry above the lyric. Wordsworth's most famous work
