William Wordsworth ( ) is one of the most famous poets in the history of English Literature.
Wordsworth was a key player in the Romantic Movement. Romantic poets were strongly influenced by nature and God as an omniscient power.
He was born in the Lake District and his birthplace had a huge influence on his writing.
Growing up Wordsworth spent time with his grandparents who lived in nearby Penrith, an even more scenic part of the country.
His work was part of a collection called Lyrical Ballads.
Wordsworth was made Poet Laureate (the Queen's poet) in 1843.
The poem The Prelude is an autobiographical epic poem which details parts of his formative (teenage) years and his journey from boy to man; the full version is much longer – this is only an extract.

This poem explores Wordsworth’s journey into adulthood, using nature to portray his changing perception of the world.
Often children are not aware of the dangers of the world until one event or another opens their eyes to the reality that the world can actually be a dangerous place.
Wordsworth makes this idea clear; in a few short lines, he transformed from a fearless, carefree boy, to an adult who was aware of the realities of the dangerous world in which he lived. This realization stayed with him for the rest of his days, and he was never able to see the world in the light of childhood again.
