  • William Wordsworth (1770-1850) is one of the most famous poets to come out of the Romantic tradition in England. More so than an English poet, Wordsworth was a poet of the Lake District and a ‘Poet of Nature.’ Wordsworth’s most famous works include Lyrical Ballads (along with Samuel Coleridge) and The Prelude. He is well known for his radical changes to poetic language and form. Wordsworth is also famous for his personal politics and his transition away from the more radical ideas of his youth. Wordsworth’s "Ode: Intimations on Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood," was published in 1807 in his work Poems, in Two Volumes, and was titled only "Ode." Wordsworth spent a lot of time trying to answer the question that he left off with at the end of stanza four. He finally finished the work two years later and added a total of eight more stanzas before it was published. This poem is representative of the melancholic tone and sense of loss by which his poetry is known. This poem is a well-studied and well-known text and is often referred to as only the "Immortality Ode" by scholars. The Immortality Ode tells the story of growing-up and the loss of innocence that is connected with the passing of time. Wordsworth is concerned with not only what is lost, but also what is gained by this experience.
