True
False

William Wordsworth (1770 – 1850) was an English Romantic poet. Samuel Taylor Coleridge and him published Lyrical Ballads in 1798, and thus began the Romantic Age in English literature.

In "Preface" to the Lyrical Ballads, Wordsworth discusses his view on poetry. He claims that pleasure in poetry occurs when language used is close to real speech. Good poetry, he argues, includes situations from real life that all people experience. Poetry should unite people regardless of their differences. Wordsworth also writes that a poet is ''a man speaking to men'', who possesses great knowledge about human nature.
