William Wordsworth (1770-1850) was a major English Romantic poet, who helped to launch the Romantic Movement, along with Samuel Taylor Coleridge. His poetry was so successful and influential that he was England’s Poet Laureate from 1843 until his death. His major works include The Prelude, “I wandered lonely as a cloud,†and “The world is too much with us.†His prose works are of a humanist vein, as he champions the poor and the downtrodden.
