William Wordsworth war ein bedeutender englischer romantischer Dichter, der zusammen mit Samuel Taylor Coleridge das romantische Zeitalter in der englischen Literatur einleitete. Sein Meisterwerk ist ein zutiefst persönliches, autobiografisches Gedicht, das seine frühen Jahre reflektiert und das der Dichter im Laufe seines Lebens ständig überarbeitete und erweiterte. Wordsworths Schreiben wird für seine tiefgreifende Auseinandersetzung mit der Natur und ihre transformative Wirkung auf den menschlichen Geist gefeiert und erforscht beständige Themen wie Erinnerung, Kindheit und spirituelle Entwicklung.
