Three Poems by Williamworth Wordsworth was born in Cockermouth, England, to John, a prominent aristocrat, and Anneworth. With the death of his mother in 1778, William and his family began to drift apart. William was sent to boarding school in Hawkeshead and his sister, Dorothy, was sent to live with cousins ​​in Halifax. It was in the rural surroundings of Hawkeshead that William learned to appreciate nature and the outdoors. Unfortunately, the tranquility of his life was disturbed by the death of his father in 1783. William was sent from one relative to another, who considered him only a burden. It has been pointed out by biographers that Worth's unhappy early life contrasts with the idealized portrait of childhood he presents in his writings (DISCovering). Wordsworth attended college at St. John's College, Cambridge, and later wrote that the highlight of those years was his walking tour of France and Switzerland taken with his friend Robert Jones (Grolier). He graduated in 1791 when the French Revolution was in its third year, but although he showed no interest, he quickly supported the Revolution's goals. Afterworth was forced to flee France and became involved in the studies of the philosopher William Godwin; Godwin became one of the most inveterate influences on Worth's (Compton's) thinking. In 1793, Worth published his first two volumes of poetry, Descriptive Sketches and An Evening Walk. Written in the traditional manner, the books were not publicly welcomed, but, after the death of a notable relative, he became the benefactor of a small inheritance which allowed him to concentrate on writing (Compton's). Feeling he needed a change of scenery to devote more time to his poetry, William moved with his sister to Racetown. Dorothy's devotion to her brother was a huge contribution to her success; encouraged his writing and took care of their daily lives (Wordsworth, William DISCovering). The most influential person in William's apprenticeship, however, was Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Critics consider their friendship to be one of the most extraordinary in English literature (Matlak 86). It was when he moved to Nether Stowey to be near Coleridge that a period of remarkable creativity began. Together they published Lyrical Ballads, an anonymous collection of poems written, for the most part, by Worth, including the illustrious preface..
