Career
It was during his stint at Hawkshead Grammar School that young William realized his firm love for poetry. The publication of a sonnet in The European Magazine in 1787 launched his career as a poet. While studying at St. John’s college in Cambridge, he set out to tour Europe. This experience deeply impacted his interests and sympathies in life, sensitized him to the troubles of the common man, and had an intense influence on his poetry. He published his poetry collections, ‘An Evening Walk and Descriptive Sketches’ in 1793, further cementing his career. He met the poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge in 1795. It was in collaboration with him that the most significant work in the English Romantic Movement, ‘Lyrical Ballads’ was produced in 1798.
