1770 1850 Post Card Wordsworth Will I Am
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the wise and contemplative countenance of William Wordsworth, the celebrated English poet, in his later years. Born on April 7, 1770, in Cockermouth, Cumberland, England, Wordsworth is considered a central figure in the Romantic movement and is best known for his poetry that explores the beauty of nature and the emotions of the human experience. Wordsworth's literary career began in 1793 when he published "An Evening Walk" and "Descriptive Sketches," but it was his joint publication with Samuel Taylor Coleridge, "Lyrical Ballads," in 1798 that brought him significant acclaim. In this groundbreaking work, Wordsworth introduced a new style of poetry that focused on ordinary people and their everyday experiences, breaking away from the traditional poetic forms of the time. As Wordsworth grew older, he continued to write and publish prolifically, producing some of his most famous works, including "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud," "Daffodils," and "Tintern Abbey." He was also a dedicated family man, marrying Mary Hutchinson in 1802 and raising five children with her. This photograph, taken in the mid-19th century, captures the poet in his later years, with the lines on his face reflecting the wisdom and experience of a life well-lived. Wordsworth passed away on April 23, 1850, leaving behind a rich literary legacy that continues to inspire and captivate readers to this day.
