Content: Wordsworth became the poet laureate of England in 1843. He held this position until his death. He died at the age of 80, on 23rd April 1850. William Wordsworth’s Writing Style
The poetry Wordsworth has two fundamental features. These features are clearly outlined in his preface to the second edition of Lyrical Ballads. The first and important feature is the use of common language, as Wordsworth says, “the language really used by men.” His poetry was treated differently by the contemporary readers and critics as the diction employed by Wordsworth in his poem resembles that of the rough, illiterate peasants and villagers whom Wordsworth admired a lot. Before understating the distinctive characteristics of Wordsworth poetry, one must consider the poetic conventions before Romanticism; the poetry of the 18th century uses high dictionary words with complex syntax. Looking at the poetry of Wordsworth from this angle, his poetry has uncomplicated syntax, direct phrasing, and little illusion.
