Wordsworth's Concept of Poetry and Poet

Journal Title: International Journal of English and Literature (IJEL) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 3

Abstract

Poetry, according to William Wordsworth was a record of "emotion recollected in tranquility", moments of the inspired. Perception produced on emotion, which recollected after some time, revealed its spiritual significance. This view of origin seems unique for no other poet has held such a view, but then few poets have taken us into confidence in this matter. If they had, we might have had a confirmation of Wordsworth's experience which after all, is not so very strange or peculiar as it appears. However, that may be many of his poems were certainly based on. According to Wordsworth, poet would have selected appropriate language, imagination.
