THE ROMANTIC PERIOD Introduction ? Historical Background The political amp。 The Excursion遠(yuǎn)足 The Prelude 序曲 ? Analysis of William Wordsworth’s works （ 1） She Dwett Among the Untrodden Ways is one of his famous Lucy Poems, in which the lover tells that she lived unknown and died unknown. （ 2） Composed upon Westminster Bridge describes a vivid picture of a beautiful morning in London. （ 3） The Solitary Reaper describes vividly and sympathetically a young peasant girl working in the fields and singing as she works and shows that the girl‘s singing deeply moved the traveler and kept lingering in his heart. （ 4） I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud is perhaps the most anthologized poem in English literature, and one that takes us to the core of Wordsworth‘s poetic belief. 6 ? Form This poem contains four sixlined stanzas of iambic tetrametre(四步抑揚格 ), with a rhyme scheme of ababcc in each stanza. ? Theme The theme of this poem is the serene beauty of nature through vivid description of daffodils and the poet‘s respect for nature. ? Content First Stanza –It shows a harmonious picture. The image of ―cloud‖ gives us the impression of the poet‘s pride and loftiness. But on seeing numerous daffodils, the poet descends from above to below. Second Stanza – In this stanza, the poet draws an analogy between stars and daffodils to emphasize the great number. ―Star‖ in this stanza echoes with ―cloud‖ in the previous stanza. Third Stanza –The poet draws an analogy between waves of water and waves of daffodils. The description of the scenery ends in the second line. Following that, the poet shifts his emphasis from scenery to emotion. Fourth Stanza – The glee of daffodils turns into happiness of the poet. As a result, the beauty of nature bees the beauty of mind. The last two lines explain why daffodils had brought great wealth to me, because they had brought fresh inspiration, greater creativity and new capacity for imagination. New life has been brought to him by the memory. ? Brief ment on William Wordsworth （ 1） He is the leading figure of English Romantic poetry, and he is regarded as a ―worshipper of nature‖. （ 2） His Lyrical Ballads, written with Coleridge, marked the beginning of Romanticism in English poetry. （ 3） He defined poetry as ―the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.‖ （ 4） He was one of the ―Lake Poets‖.
