Poetry is the natural expression of strong feelings, is Wordsworth's famous saying.

Wordsworth’s introduction:

Wordsworth (William Wordsworth, 1770-1850), a British romantic poet, was once the poet laureate. His poetic theory shook the dominance of British classical poetics and effectively promoted the innovation of British poetry and the development of the Romantic movement.

He is one of the most important English poets since the Renaissance. His poem "plain living and high thinking" is used as the motto of Keble College, Oxford University.

Wordsworth was the leader of the "Lakeside Poets". He had great ups and downs in his thinking - his early enthusiasm for the French Revolution turned into his worship of nature, which he later took refuge in the mountains and rivers. He achieved epoch-making innovations, and some even called him the first modern poet.
