Frases de William Wordsworth
página 9

William Wordsworth fue uno de los más importantes poetas románticos ingleses. Con Samuel Taylor Coleridge, contribuyó a la evolución de la época romántica en la literatura inglesa con su publicación conjunta de Baladas líricas en 1798. Esta obra influyó de modo determinante en el paisaje literario del siglo XIX. Fue el poeta laureado de Inglaterra desde 1843 hasta su muerte en 1850.

El carácter fuertemente innovador de su poesía, ambientada en el sugerente paisaje del Lake District , en el norte de Cumberland, radica en la elección de los protagonistas, personajes de humilde extracción, del tema, que es la vida cotidiana, y del lenguaje, sencillo e inmediato.

Wordsworth, Coleridge y Southey fueron conocidos como lakistas, por inspirarse en el mismo paisaje de los lagos. Wikipedia
