Wordsworth's magnum opus is generally considered to be The Prelude, a semi-autobiographical poem of his early years that he revised and expanded a number of times. It was posthumously titled and published by his wife in the year of his death, before which it was generally known as 'The Poem to Coleridge'. Wordsworth was Poet Laureate from 1843 until his death from pleurisy on 23 April 1850." / "William Wordsworth (* 7. April 1770 in Cockermouth, Großbritannien; 23. April 1850 in Rydal Mount, Großbritannien) war ein britischer Dichter und führendes Mitglied der englischen Romantikbewegung, die er 1798 durch die zusammen mit Samuel Taylor Coleridge verfassten Lyrical Ballads (Lyrische Gedichte) initiierte. Als seine bekanntesten Werke gelten sein frühes autobiografisches Gedicht The Prelude (Präludium) aus dem Jahr 1798 und das Narzissen-Gedicht I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud von 1804."
