William Wordsworth: A Great English Poet and Leader of the Romantic Movement
William Wordsworth, 1770-1850, is considered one of the great English poets and leader of the Romantic Movement in England (Wordsworth pp). He was a defining member of the Romantic Movement in England and like other Romantics, his personality and poetry were heavily influenced by his love of nature, particularly the scenic area of Lake Country where he spent most of his adult life (Complete pp). Wordsworth was an honest philosopher who displayed a sincerity that was tempered with a love and appreciation of simplicity (Complete pp). After graduation from Cambridge, Wordsworth traveled abroad, where he fell in love with Annette Vallon in France, with whom he had a daughter, Caroline, although he and Annette never married (Wordsworth pp).
