William Wordsworth

A preface to the Lyrical Ballads

He is called the father of the romantic school. He and Coleridge wrote at the same time. The lyrical Ballads were written in collaboration between Wordsworth and Coleridge. Both started writing at the same time. Wordsworth is called the father because he was the one who set the rules of the romantic school. He is the founder of this school.
He did not start his career as a critic. He was originally a poet.
Wordsworth sets some rules to follow, what a critic should be doing, what are the rules that should be followed in writing poetry.
When he started writing their poetry, they wanted to write something different. When their work came out- The Lyrical Ballads- people did not understand and did not appreciate their new way of writing.
People were judging this kind of poetry according to the neo-classical rules.
Wordsworth and Coleridge when they started writing, they wanted to express their feelings and their emotions. They wanted to be individual. They wanted to express the idea of the poor and the common people because the neo-classical poetry was very refined. it was only addressing the educated people who could understand those works and appreciate this kind of language.
With the romantic, they wanted to write something different. When they wrote their poetry and it was published, people did not appreciate it because they did not follow the rules that were prevailing at that time, the rules of the neo-classical school.
They understood that people did not understand their poetry not because their works were bad but because people did not understand what they are doing. They wanted to tell people that they were doing something different. They wanted to explain what they are doing, what is the difference in their poetry. People had to understand in order to appreciate.
People did not like the Lyrical Ballads, so Wordsworth decided to write an explanation. In the second edition of the Lyrical Ballads, Wordsworth wrote a preface, a kind of introduction at the beginning of the book. He added an introduction to explain to people what kind of poetry he is writing, what he is doing in his poetry, what images he is using, what characters he is making use of, what the poet should be doing in the poem. He wanted to example to people this new kind of poetry that was different from the neo-classical poetry.
He tackled five different points in his preface concerning poetry. These are the rules:
1- The idea of the subject matter; what he sees to be the perfect subject matter of poetry.
2- The language of poetry, what kind of language to be used in poetry
3- The aim , the objective of poetry
4- what should the poet be
5- The nature of poetry; what he considers to be the nature of poetry.
They are all related. He does not make a clear cut division between these points.
Alexander Pope was a neo-classical. He was interested in the form, in the particularity, in perfection, so we have clear cut division in his essay.
But for Wordsworth, he was for emotions, feelings, individuality.
The way he writes belongs to the way he thinks. It is very individual.
So we can not clearly divide his essay. We have to look for the ideas. They are not clearly stated in the essay.
In this Preface, we have five main points. Because Wordsworth was not critical like Alexander Pope; we don’t have clear distinctions between these ideas. He speaks about one idea, moves to another one, and goes back to the first. We find him a little bit confused. His ideas are scattered. They are not given in order.
We have five main points and sometimes we have minor points.
When he speaks about the style, it comes under language. Style is not the main idea; the main idea is the language. When he speaks about the rustic language, he speaks about the poetic language, both can come under language. The part concerning the rustic language is related to the subject matter. They are intermixing. We can not speak about one of them alone. The subject matter of his poetry is the humble rustic life. So he speaks about rustic people= people of the rural community. He chooses to speak about their life and to use their language. When he speaks about the poet, he speaks about his language. We don’t have parts, like in Pope’s essay. We have the ideas scattered.
Wordsworth was experimenting. He was trying something new. He did not follow the rules that were set before him. He was trying to make something new.
In his preface, he tries to explain to people what is poetry, how the poet writes, what is the nature of poetry, what is the language, what is the subject matter of poetry.
The Romantic looked at nature as part of their religion.
They are interested in nature, in man, in individuality, in emotions, in free structure.
The idea of the noble savage- man is born good by nature. When he grows up, he learns, he gains experience, he changes either becomes more good or more bad. The more he gains experience, the more he becomes corrupted. Being corrupted takes him away from the right path, the more he goes away from god .this is the basic philosophy of Romanticism. Nature for them represents what god has created in it. This is why they are interested in nature, not to describe the external nature. Nature represents goodness and being related to god in its original form. The more the one closer to nature, the more he is closer to god. This is why the child is closer to god because he is not yet corrupted. He hasn’t gained knowledge or experience yet. Knowledge and experience corrupt man- the child is the father of man- it is a very famous quotation of Wordsworth.
the kind of people he would be speaking about is the common simple people, people who are not complicated by society, people who are not under the restrictions of society, who live in nature, who are closer to nature; all farmers, shepherd, peasants= rustic people who live in rural community.
His subject matter is confined to the rustic.
His language is very simple, the real language spoken by real people; the language that is used by common people in every day conversation.
He did not want to use poetic diction like the neo-classics. He wanted to be understood by all people not only the educated people.
He is expressing the pure emotions, the pure kinds of expression.
For him, Poetry is very individual. It should express emotions and feelings. But it does not negate the function of the mind.
He says that a poem starts with a feeling. The poet does not think of an idea to write about like the neo- classics. This is the main difference between the Romantics and the Neo- classics. They both used ideas, but with the Neo-classics, they start with the idea and develop it into a poem. With the Romantics, they start with emotions and develop it into a poem.
According to Wordsworth the feelings are spontaneous.
A poem starts with feelings, a stimulant- an object. When the poet sees, feels this object, he reacts with his senses to this object, writes about it.
A stimulant is an object that stimulates certain feelings in the poet.
First we have a stimulant, then a reaction, then the poet expresses his feelings through a poem, this is for the poet.
The poem is a combination of feelings and thinking. The heart and the mind collaborate to produce the poem. it is not only the outcome of emotions and feelings, but also of the mind.
The poet has to think deeply and the poem is the result of thinking about the emotions. The poet has to think hard about the emotions and then the poet comes out as the result of thinking about the emotions.
Preface to Lyrical Ballads (1802)

William Wordsworth

The first Volume of these Poems has already been submitted to general perusal. It was published, as an experiment,
From the very beginning he tells us what he is going to write about. He gives us a summary of his preface.
His poems are experiments. He calls his poetry an experiment because he was not following the same rules of writing poetry. He was writing a different kind of poetry. He was experimenting. The aim of his experiment is to impart a certain kind of pleasure. He is going to use real language of men, language they speak in their real life, in state of vivid sensation.
which, I hoped, might be of some use to ascertain, how far, by fitting to metrical arrangement a selection of the real language of men in a state of vivid sensation, that sort of pleasure and that quantity of pleasure may be imparted, which a Poet may rationally endeavour to impart.
Metrical arrangement=arrangement of words according to meter= poetry.
all poetry has metrical arrangement. Later on he will make a distinction between poetry and prose. He will say that they are the same in everything except the arrangement. Both poetry and prose make use of images. Both of them make use of words. The only difference between poetry and prose according to Wordsworth is that poetry is arranged in a certain way that makes it different from prose.
This arrangement follows meter. It is arranged according to certain meter. What makes poetry unique; different from all kinds of writing is the arrangement of meter.
Wordsworth is very careful in choosing his words from the very beginning. Every thing he says here, he will explain later on.
So first of all, the poem is an experiment of certain things the poet wants to explain. He will fit what he wants to express in a certain metrical arrangement, using a selection of the real language of men.
The language he is going to use is the ordinary language, not sophisticated. The language used by men in the real life. The words have to express sensation= feelings. It should also give pleasure .it can be the poet’s pleasure when writing or the reader’s pleasure when reading. we have different kinds of pleasure, quantities of pleasure.
The subject matter of his poetry is men in the state of vivid sensation. The aim of his poetry is to give this sort of pleasure. The poet is the one who is going to impart this sort of pleasure. The poet is going to give it rationally, to impart it in a rational way, using his mind. It is not spontaneous.
From the very beginning we have a very important concept of the romantic poetry.
Wordsworth, who is the father of the romantic school says that the poet is expressing his feelings rationally. The poem to be written, first of all, there should be a feeling, but the poem is not only about the feelings. It is about how the poet thought of these feelings.
He says that poetry is an expression of spontaneous feeling= a spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings recollected, meditated in tranquility. The poet has feelings first. His mind should think about these feelings before writing about it. Poetry is the outcome of both feelings and thinking. The poem is the result of the mind and the heart working together. He never concentrates on the heart alone. He always mentions both. There is always an idea that comes in the second period. First the poet has feelings, he thinks about these feelings and then he writes a poem.
The act of writing a poem by a poet takes three stages. First stage is the feeling. He can not think without having the feeling first. The feeling is something spontaneous.
Romantic poetry is very philosophical. To them poetry is a kind of religion- going to nature, finding God in nature, going deep in man, finding God in man. So their poetry is very philosophical and very religious but in a particular way. They are not like the metaphysical poetry that was very scientific.
In the first paragraph, he mentions, he is summing up the five points he is going to tackle in this essay. Then he takes each and explains in details.
First he gives a definition of poetry. This is part of the definition. What kind of language should be used in his poetry, it is the metrical arrangement, and it should include passion. It should include certain pleasure which is the aim of poetry, the poet must have a feeling and he must rationally think about it.
He starts giving us the reasons behind writing this preface, he gives five reasons
1- They have advised me to prefix a systematic defence of the theory, upon which the poems were written.
This is the first reason why he wrote this preface, that he was given an advice by his friends to write a preface to explain the theory upon which his poetry is written.
The second reason why he wrote the preface
2-it would be necessary to give a full account of the present state of the public taste in this country, and to determine how far this taste is healthy or depraved; which, again, could not be determined,
The third reason is that
3-without pointing out, in what manner language and the human mind act and re-act on each other and
The forth reason
4- Without retracing the revolutions, not of literature alone, but likewise of society itself.
The fifth reason
5-Poems so materially different from those, upon which general approbation is at present bestowed
That he is writing a kind of poetry that is completely different from what the people used to read in the past.
The five ideas he tackles:
1- The first idea he tackles; the idea of the subject matter. What is the subject matter he uses in his poems?
The principal object, then, which I proposed to myself in these Poems was to chuse incidents and situations from common life, and to relate or describe them, throughout, as far as was possible, in a selection of language really used by men; and, at the same time, to throw over them a certain colouring of imagination, whereby ordinary things should be presented to the mind in an unusual way; and, further, and above all, to make these incidents and situations interesting by tracing in them, truly though not ostentatiously, the primary laws of our nature:
The subject matter of his poetry is the humble rustic life. He takes incidents from common life, presents them in a selection [very important because later on Coleridge will comment on this word]
He is going to take the simple language of the rustic people, but he is going to select from it, he is not going to use it as it is. He takes the language and selects from it. He takes ordinary situations taken from ordinary life, select from the ordinary language used by men, and throw over it a certain coloring of imagination. He adds images, figures of speech. Poetry should include imagination. By using his imagination, the poet will be presenting unusual thing. It is ordinary thing but by using imagination it turns to be unusual.
Unusual presentation of the usual= similitude in dissimilitude= it is similar to nature, but at the same time it is not similar. Poetry according to Wordsworth is an imitation of the common, but by turning it to a poem, by the use of imagination, it turns to be something different.
These poems should be interesting .unless they are interesting, no body will read them. It is above all these is to make these incidents and situations interesting,
They must have the laws of nature, they must not go against nature, what we know, what we are born with. They have to be interesting by showing us the laws of nature- not external nature- but the laws of nature- things as created by God.
This is a very important difference between the romantic and the Neo-classical criticism: the laws of nature. The laws of nature are not the same for the Romantics and the Neo-classics.
According to Pope, nature methodizes= put in methods, put in rules, never changing. The rules of nature never change. We must follow the unchanging rules of nature.
Nature to the Romantic is completely the opposite. Nature for them is very personal. It changes, differs from one person to another. What a person can see in nature is different from what another person sees in nature. It is a relation between man and nature.
The most important to all is to follow the rules of nature.
Wordsworth chooses the humble rustic life. He gives us five reasons for choosing the humble rustic life.
1- Low and rustic life was generally chosen, because in that condition, the essential passions of the heart finds a better soil in which they can attain their maturity,
In this kind of life, passions can mature. They attain their maturity. They find better soil, better environment to mature.In this kind of life, the essential pattern of human life can find a better soil which is rich to make it flourish and to mature. In this life we find simple patterns of life.
2- are less under restraint, and speak a plainer and more emphatic language
The rustic are under less restrains. Their language is more emphatic. In this simple life they live free with no restrain. They are using plain simple language. There are no restrictions upon them. They are not highly sophisticated people.
3- Because in that condition of life our elementary feelings co-exist in a state of greater simplicity, and, consequently, may be more accurately contemplated, and more forcibly communicated;
Their feelings are alimentary. They are not sophisticated. They are in their beginnings, basic feelings. So they can communicate accurately. They can be easily understood.
4- Because the manners of rural life germinate from those elementary feelings; and, from the necessary character of rural occupations, are more easily comprehended, and are more durable;
Their feelings are durable. They do not change.
5-and lastly, because in that condition the passions of men are incorporated with the beautiful and permanent forms of nature.

He and Coleridge wrote at the same time. The lyrical Ballads were written in collaboration between Wordsworth and Coleridge. Both started writing at the same time. Wordsworth is called the father because he was the one who set the rules of the romantic school. He is the founder of this school. He did not start his career as a critic. He was originally a poet. Wordsworth sets some rules to follow, what a critic should be doing, what are the rules that should be followed in writing poetry. When he started writing their poetry, they wanted to write something different. When their work came out- The Lyrical Ballads- people did not understand and did not appreciate their new way of writing. People were judging this kind of poetry according to the neo-classical rules. Wordsworth and Coleridge when they started writing, they wanted to express their feelings and their emotions. They wanted to be individual. They wanted to express the idea of the poor and the common people because the neo-classical poetry was very refined. it was only addressing the educated people who could understand those works and appreciate this kind of language. With the romantic, they wanted to write something different. When they wrote their poetry and it was published, people did not appreciate it because they did not follow the rules that were prevailing at that time, the rules of the neo-classical school. They understood that people did not understand their poetry not because their works were bad but because people did not understand what they are doing. They wanted to tell people that they were doing something different. They wanted to explain what they are doing, what is the difference in their poetry. People had to understand in order to appreciate. People did not like the Lyrical Ballads, so Wordsworth decided to write an explanation. In the second edition of the Lyrical Ballads, Wordsworth wrote a preface, a kind of introduction at the beginning of the book. He added an introduction to explain to people what kind of poetry he is writing, what he is doing in his poetry, what images he is using, what characters he is making use of, what the poet should be doing in the poem. He wanted to example to people this new kind of poetry that was different from the neo-classical poetry. He tackled five different points in his preface concerning poetry. These are the rules: 1- The idea of the subject matter; what he sees to be the perfect subject matter of poetry. 2- The language of poetry, what kind of language to be used in poetry 3- The aim , the objective of poetry 4- what should the poet be 5- The nature of poetry; what he considers to be the nature of poetry. They are all related. He does not make a clear cut division between these points. Alexander Pope was a neo-classical. He was interested in the form, in the particularity, in perfection, so we have clear cut division in his essay. But for Wordsworth, he was for emotions, feelings, individuality. The way he writes belongs to the way he thinks. It is very individual. So we can not clearly divide his essay. We have to look for the ideas. They are not clearly stated in the essay. In this Preface, we have five main points. Because Wordsworth was not critical like Alexander Pope; we don’t have clear distinctions between these ideas. He speaks about one idea, moves to another one, and goes back to the first. We find him a little bit confused. His ideas are scattered. They are not given in order. We have five main points and sometimes we have minor points. When he speaks about the style, it comes under language. Style is not the main idea; the main idea is the language. When he speaks about the rustic language, he speaks about the poetic language, both can come under language. The part concerning the rustic language is related to the subject matter. They are intermixing. We can not speak about one of them alone. The subject matter of his poetry is the humble rustic life. So he speaks about rustic people= people of the rural community. He chooses to speak about their life and to use their language. When he speaks about the poet, he speaks about his language. We don’t have parts, like in Pope’s essay. We have the ideas scattered. Wordsworth was experimenting. He was trying something new. He did not follow the rules that were set before him. He was trying to make something new. In his preface, he tries to explain to people what is poetry, how the poet writes, what is the nature of poetry, what is the language, what is the subject matter of poetry. The Romantic looked at nature as part of their religion. They are interested in nature, in man, in individuality, in emotions, in free structure. The idea of the noble savage- man is born good by nature. When he grows up, he learns, he gains experience, he changes either becomes more good or more bad. The more he gains experience, the more he becomes corrupted. Being corrupted takes him away from the right path, the more he goes away from god .this is the basic philosophy of Romanticism. Nature for them represents what god has created in it. This is why they are interested in nature, not to describe the external nature. Nature represents goodness and being related to god in its original form. The more the one closer to nature, the more he is closer to god. This is why the child is closer to god because he is not yet corrupted. He hasn’t gained knowledge or experience yet. Knowledge and experience corrupt man- the child is the father of man- it is a very famous quotation of Wordsworth. the kind of people he would be speaking about is the common simple people, people who are not complicated by society, people who are not under the restrictions of society, who live in nature, who are closer to nature; all farmers, shepherd, peasants= rustic people who live in rural community. His subject matter is confined to the rustic. His language is very simple, the real language spoken by real people; the language that is used by common people in every day conversation. He did not want to use poetic diction like the neo-classics. He wanted to be understood by all people not only the educated people. He is expressing the pure emotions, the pure kinds of expression. For him, Poetry is very individual. It should express emotions and feelings. But it does not negate the function of the mind. He says that a poem starts with a feeling. The poet does not think of an idea to write about like the neo- classics. This is the main difference between the Romantics and the Neo- classics. They both used ideas, but with the Neo-classics, they start with the idea and develop it into a poem. With the Romantics, they start with emotions and develop it into a poem. According to Wordsworth the feelings are spontaneous. A poem starts with feelings, a stimulant- an object. When the poet sees, feels this object, he reacts with his senses to this object, writes about it. A stimulant is an object that stimulates certain feelings in the poet. First we have a stimulant, then a reaction, then the poet expresses his feelings through a poem, this is for the poet. The poem is a combination of feelings and thinking. The heart and the mind collaborate to produce the poem. it is not only the outcome of emotions and feelings, but also of the mind. The poet has to think deeply and the poem is the result of thinking about the emotions. The poet has to think hard about the emotions and then the poet comes out as the result of thinking about the emotions. *Preface to Lyrical Ballads (1802)* William Wordsworth The first Volume of these Poems has already been submitted to general perusal. It was published, as an experiment, From the very beginning he tells us what he is going to write about. He gives us a summary of his preface. His poems are experiments. He calls his poetry an experiment because he was not following the same rules of writing poetry. He was writing a different kind of poetry. He was experimenting. The aim of his experiment is to impart a certain kind of pleasure. He is going to use real language of men, language they speak in their real life, in state of vivid sensation. which, I hoped, might be of some use to ascertain, how far, by fitting to metrical arrangement a selection of the real language of men in a state of vivid sensation, that sort of pleasure and that quantity of pleasure may be imparted, which a Poet may rationally endeavour to impart. Metrical arrangement=arrangement of words according to meter= poetry. all poetry has metrical arrangement. Later on he will make a distinction between poetry and prose. He will say that they are the same in everything except the arrangement. Both poetry and prose make use of images. Both of them make use of words. The only difference between poetry and prose according to Wordsworth is that poetry is arranged in a certain way that makes it different from prose. This arrangement follows meter. It is arranged according to certain meter. What makes poetry unique; different from all kinds of writing is the arrangement of meter. Wordsworth is very careful in choosing his words from the very beginning. Every thing he says here, he will explain later on. So first of all, the poem is an experiment of certain things the poet wants to explain. He will fit what he wants to express in a certain metrical arrangement, using a selection of the real language of men. The language he is going to use is the ordinary language, not sophisticated. The language used by men in the real life. The words have to express sensation= feelings. It should also give pleasure .it can be the poet’s pleasure when writing or the reader’s pleasure when reading. we have different kinds of pleasure, quantities of pleasure. The subject matter of his poetry is men in the state of vivid sensation. The aim of his poetry is to give this sort of pleasure. The poet is the one who is going to impart this sort of pleasure. The poet is going to give it rationally, to impart it in a rational way, using his mind. It is not spontaneous. From the very beginning we have a very important concept of the romantic poetry. Wordsworth, who is the father of the romantic school says that the poet is expressing his feelings rationally. The poem to be written, first of all, there should be a feeling, but the poem is not only about the feelings. It is about how the poet thought of these feelings. He says that poetry is an expression of spontaneous feeling= a spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings recollected, meditated in tranquility. The poet has feelings first.

What kind of language should be used in his poetry, it is the metrical arrangement, and it should include passion. It should include certain pleasure which is the aim of poetry, the poet must have a feeling and he must rationally think about it. He starts giving us the reasons behind writing this preface, he gives five reasons 1- They have advised me to prefix a systematic defence of the theory, upon which the poems were written. This is the first reason why he wrote this preface, that he was given an advice by his friends to write a preface to explain the theory upon which his poetry is written.

The fifth reason 5-Poems so materially different from those, upon which general approbation is at present bestowed That he is writing a kind of poetry that is completely different from what the people used to read in the past. The five ideas he tackles: 1- The first idea he tackles; the idea of the subject matter. What is the subject matter he uses in his poems? The principal object, then, which I proposed to myself in these Poems was to chuse incidents and situations from common life, and to relate or describe them, throughout, as far as was possible, in a selection of language really used by men; and, at the same time, to throw over them a certain colouring of imagination, whereby ordinary things should be presented to the mind in an unusual way; and, further, and above all, to make these incidents and situations interesting by tracing in them, truly though not ostentatiously, the primary laws of our nature: *The subject matter of his poetry is the humble rustic life.

He adds images, figures of speech. Poetry should include imagination. By using his imagination, the poet will be presenting unusual thing. It is ordinary thing but by using imagination it turns to be unusual. Unusual presentation of the usual= similitude in dissimilitude= it is similar to nature, but at the same time it is not similar. Poetry according to Wordsworth is an imitation of the common, but by turning it to a poem, by the use of imagination, it turns to be something different. *These poems should be interesting .unless they are interesting, no body will read them. It is above all these is to make these incidents and situations interesting,* They must have the laws of nature, they must not go against nature, what we know, what we are born with. They have to be interesting by showing us the laws of nature- not external nature- but the laws of nature- things as created by God. *This is a very important difference between the romantic and the Neo-classical criticism: the laws of nature. The laws of nature are not the same for the Romantics and the Neo-classics.* *According to Pope, nature methodizes= put in methods, put in rules, never changing. The rules of nature never change. We must follow the unchanging rules of nature.* Nature to the Romantic is completely the opposite. Nature for them is very personal. It changes, differs from one person to another. What a person can see in nature is different from what another person sees in nature. It is a relation between man and nature. *The most important to all is to follow the rules of nature.* *Wordsworth chooses the humble rustic life. He gives us five reasons for choosing the humble rustic life.* 1- Low and rustic life was generally chosen, because in that condition, the essential passions of the heart finds a better soil in which they can attain their maturity, In this kind of life, passions can mature. They attain their maturity. They find better soil, better environment to mature.In this kind of life, the essential pattern of human life can find a better soil which is rich to make it flourish and to mature. In this life we find simple patterns of life. 2- are less under restraint, and speak a plainer and more emphatic language The rustic are under less restrains. Their language is more emphatic. In this simple life they live free with no restrain. They are using plain simple language. There are no restrictions upon them. They are not highly sophisticated people. 3- Because in that condition of life our elementary feelings co-exist in a state of greater simplicity, and, consequently, may be more accurately contemplated, and more forcibly communicated; Their feelings are alimentary. They are not sophisticated. They are in their beginnings, basic feelings. So they can communicate accurately. They can be easily understood. 4- Because the manners of rural life germinate from those elementary feelings; and, from the necessary character of rural occupations, are more easily comprehended, and are more durable; Their feelings are durable. They do not change. 5-and lastly, because in that condition the passions of men are incorporated with the beautiful and permanent forms of nature.
