问题 Please discuss the significance of William Wordsworth’ s poetry in the history of English literature.
选项
答案A. First of all, Wordsworth’ s theory, as stated in his "Preface" to the second edition of the "Lyrical Ballads, " serves as a manifesto of Romanticism. The poet takes the direct experience of the senses as the source of poetic truth as poetry comes from the "emotion recollected in tranquillity. " The significance of the "Preface" also presents itself in the poet’ s advocation of the writing of the common people in ordinary language. B. Secondly, his practice is what his theory implies, for the joys and sorrows of the common people arc his themes. It can be seen in many of his poems such as the "Lucy poems. C. Thirdly , natural scenery with its beauty and mystery acts also as one of his favorite themes and the sympathy out of the poet’ s nature towards the poor in rural places becomes part of his concern. D. Fourthly, the inner workings of individual’ s mind remain what Wordsworth likes to reveal in his depiction of natural scenery, and the spiritual growth of his own makes his masterpiece The Prelude. E. Finally, the seemingly simplicity of the poet both in diction and description is immersed in a profound and sympathetic longing for a better world. So the most important contribution he has made is that he has not only started the modern poetry, the poetry of the growing inner self, but also changed the course of English poetry by using ordinary speech of the language and by advocating a return to nature.
