William Wordsworth, who passed away on 23 April
1850, aged 80, 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.
