Content: Therefore, Wordsworth is rightly credited to be the Poet of Nature by his admirers and critics alike. In fact, if closely observed, we may also find that Wordsworth propagated simple living, away from the hustle and bustle of cities. This way of thinking took a strong position in the works of the later generation romantic poets, not only in the United Kingdom, but also throughout Europe, and the Americas. In this way, it wouldn’t be wrong if we say that William Wordsworth is the father of Romanticism. William Wordsworth’ Take on Human Life
After his death in 1850, Wordsworth’s wife, Mary Hutchinson published his semi-autobiography, The Prelude, a poetic collection of 14 books, which discussed his life in detail. In The Prelude, considered to be a masterpiece in English literature, William Wordsworth draws his life experiences, right from his childhood in the Lake District, to his days studying at the University of Cambridge, and so on.

Through his poems, Wordsworth speaks about how being around nature and engaging in natural sports like fishing, boating, swimming, etc. influenced his personality. He, therefore, advocated people to return to a natural some of life, which has faded away in the big cities like London. Further, he discussed his life at the university, where he felt loneliness in the big city, and how boring life had become.
