William Wordsworth, born on 7 April 1770, in
Cockermouth, Cumberland, England, was an
important Romantic English poet, who in later life became the British Poet
Laureate.
Wordsworth met fellow poet Samuel Coleridge in
1795 and together they became the leading figures of the English Romantic
movement, publishing their "Lyrical Ballads" in 1798.
Wordsworth's most well-known poems include "I
Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" and "She Dwelt among the Untrodden
Ways", though his masterpiece is considered the autobiographical "The
Prelude", addressed to Coleridge and published posthumously.
