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

The William Wordsworth Page The purpose of this page is to provide information about the life and writings of William Wordsworth (1770-1850). 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.

William Wordsworth was born on April 17, 1770 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. With the help of his two uncles, Wordsworth entered a local school and continued his studies at Cambridge University. Wordsworth made his debut as a writer 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.

'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.

That's how Christopher Marlowe described poetry in his Prologue to Tamburlaine. "Poetry is the opening and closing of a door, leaving those who look through to guess about what is seen during a moment." (Carl Sandburg) "Poetry is a comforting piece of fiction set to more or less lascivious music." (H.L. Mencken) When Webster's defines poetry it speaks in terms of rhythm, feelings, spirit. Like music, a good poem makes us think or feel something, sends out wispy reminders of something we've known or maybe just imagined. It is language of the soul.

The most recorded period in the history of the house covers the time when the Romantic Poet William Wordsworth and his sister Dorothy lived here, and during that time many of the leading literary figures of the day come to visit them in their Somerset haven. 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

BRISTOL: PRINTED BY BIGGS AND COTTLE, FOR T.N. LONGMAN, PATERNOSTER-ROW, LONDON. ADVERTISEMENT. It is the honourable characteristic of Poetry that its materials are to be found in every subject which can interest the human mind. The evidence of this fact is to be sought, not in the writings of Critics, but in those of Poets themselves. Readers of superior judgment may disapprove of the style in which many of these pieces are executed[. I]t must be expected that many lines and phrases will not exactly suit their taste. It will perhaps appear to them, that wishing to avoid the prevalent fault of the day, the author has sometimes descended too low, and that many of his expressions are too familiar, and not of sufficient dignity. It is apprehended, that the more conversant the reader is with our elder writers, and with those in modern times who have been the most successful in painting manners and passions, the fewer complaints of this kind will he have to make.

'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'.

William Wordsworth P oeta inglés, uno de los más consumados e influyentes escritores del romanticismo inglés. Su estilo y sus teorías renovaron la literatura poética de su país. Nacido el 7 de abril de 1770 en Cockermouth (Cumberland), estudió en el Saint John's College de Cambridge. Durante su juventud manifestó un marcado amor por la naturaleza, y llevó a cabo frecuentes visitas a lugares de gran belleza natural, como el viaje que realizó a pie en el verano de 1790, atravesando Francia y Suiza. Tras licenciarse en la universidad, regresó a Francia, y se convirtió en un apasionado defensor de las ideas de la Revolución Francesa. Su amante, Annette Vallon de Orleans, dio a luz una hija del poeta, en diciembre de 1792, pero éste no la pudo ver hasta que la niña tuvo nueve años, debido al estallido de la guerra entre Francia e Inglaterra, lo que no disminuyó sus simpatías hacia Francia. Aunque había empezado a escribir poesía desde su infancia, no publicó ningún poema hasta 1793, año en que aparecieron Un paseo por la tarde y Apuntes descriptivos . Estas obras, aunque frescas y originales en cuanto a su contenido, reflejan claramente la influencia del estilo formal de la poesía inglesa del siglo XVIII. Los ingresos económicos por la venta de sus obras eran más bien exiguos, pero recibió un legado de 900 libras proveniente de un buen amigo suyo, por lo que el poeta y su hermana, Dorothy Wordsworth, se trasladaron a Racedown (Dorsetshire). Los dos hermanos estuvieron siempre muy próximos, y Dorothy, devota confidente del poeta, le animó para que continuara escribiendo. La enfermedad mental de su hermana y la muerte de otro de sus hermanos, afectaron notablemente a William.

Suffering Summary A man walks through the countryside after a night of rain. The creatures around him are lively and refreshed. At first, he shares their joy, but his mood soon turns as he reflects that care and pain are the inevitable balance to the care-free life he has lead so far: "We poets in our youth begin in gladness; But thereof come in the end despondency and madness." He comes upon an old man staring into a muddy pond. The man seems weighed down with care; he is so still he seems dead. He greets the man and asks what he is doing. The old man is a leech-gatherer, leeches being needed by eighteenth-century doctors. He wanders the moors, sleeping outside, and thus makes a steady living. The wanderer resolves not to give in to misery, but to think instead of the courage and firm mind of the leech gatherer.
