Wordsworth's estrangement (growing apart) from Coleridge in 1810  deprived him of a powerful incentive to imaginative and intellectual  alertness. Wordsworth's appointment to a government position in  1813 relieved him of financial care. Wordsworth's undiminished love for nature made him view the  emergent (just appearing) industrial society with undisguised reserve. He opposed the Reform Bill of 1832, which, in his view, merely  transferred political power from the land owners to the manufacturing  class, but he never stopped pleading in favor of the victims of the  factory system. In 1843 Wordsworth was appointed poet laureate (official poet of a  country). He died on April 23, 1850. For More Information
