This paper examines the life of William Wordsworth, born in England in 1770 and considered to be one of the original romantic
poets. It reviews some of most famous pieces of work with an emphasis on how he saw beauty in every form of
nature. It looks at how the characters that appear in his poetry are
solitary and how Wordsworth himself was a solitary person, happiest alone only with Nature. Wordsworth believed that nature was the most powerful thing that could teach people about life and how to fulfill one's life with happiness and wealth. It assesses his friendships with a new generation of writers like John Stuart Mill and the Brownings-Robert and Elizabeth Barrett and the influence on his life of good friends such as Beaumont, Scott, Coleridge, Charles Lamb and Robert Jones.
