The idea
What is Wordsworth and Romanticism?
Wordsworth and Romanticism refers to William Wordsworth's central place in the English Romantic movement, which began with Lyrical Ballads (1798), written with Coleridge. Against the polished, reasoned verse of the eighteenth century, Wordsworth called poetry 'the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings' recollected in tranquillity, wrote in the language of ordinary people, and found the sublime in nature, childhood and memory. Poems such as 'Tintern Abbey', 'I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud' and The Prelude show nature shaping the inner life.

Where learners get stuck
Why Wordsworth and Romanticism is hard
Students treat Romanticism as poems about love, when it means feeling, nature, imagination and the individual. The plain words hide complex ideas about memory and the mind, and the context of the French Revolution is easily missed.
The picture a good explanation starts with: A two-column contrast of a neoclassical couplet against a Wordsworth stanza, then a spider diagram of Romantic ideas (nature, imagination, childhood, the sublime, the common man) linked to his poems.
