William Wordsworth was a Romantic poet. Romanticism was a literary, artistic and intellectual movement that emerged in Europe during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It was characterized by a focus on emotion and individualism, a veneration of nature, and a rejection of the constraints of rationalism and classicism.
Wordsworth and his fellow Romantic poets, such as Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Blake, and John Keats, rejected the formal constraints and neoclassical principles of 18th-century poetry, and instead sought to express their innermost feelings and emotions through their poetry. They also celebrated the beauty of nature and the spiritual power of the natural world.
Wordsworth in particular is known for his focus on the beauty of nature, the common life and the lives of simple people, and the power of emotion and imagination. His poetry often explores themes of nature, love, loss, and the passage of time. He is also known for his use of everyday language, and for his celebration of the individual and the common person.
Wordsworth's poetry is also known for its focus on the individual experience and emotions, which reflects the values of the Romantic movement that celebrated the inner self, intuition and the imagination. His poetry is also known for its focus on the power of nature to evoke emotions and spiritual experiences, which is a key characteristic of romantic poetry.
