Wordsworth has been considered one of the most significant Romantic writers in history. The Romantic period was one of the most influential periods in British literature and was referred to as incidents of life. Romance hardly followed the same old boring rules and left authors free to write how they felt. Most of the literature of this period was based on love, fascinations, obsessions, myths and nature; these and other similar emotions or areas of interest are what changed the ideas of 18th century poetry forever. Worth is considered a romantic poet, because his writings were very imaginative, emotional and visionary. Most of Worth's literature expressed his obsession with nature. He had many literary works, some on nature and others on humanistic topics. Although Worth considered himself a humanist writer, most of his readers consider him even more of a writer about nature. Once a reader begins to read some of Worth's poems, they quickly realize that he is a romantic naturalist. When the Industrial Revolution began, Worth was shocked by the idea of factories and how workers were hired to work such long hours, with almost no pay for all. of their hard work. During the Industrial Revolution many factories were built, taking away much of the open countryside that everyone had enjoyed so much. Thus, like most Romantic poets of his time, he decided to rebel against the industrial revolution and wrote many pieces about nature to show his feelings of opposition to the revolution. Worth always considered himself a humanist writer, so it was logical that his poems written during the industrial revolution were completed on the nature of...... middle of paper ......dsworth has all the qualities of one romantic naturist writer and very few humanistic qualities. Sometimes it takes another person to point out to you that you are actually doing the opposite of what you think you are doing. In Inworth's case, he always thought he was a humanist poet when in fact he was a naturalist poet from the beginning. References Roper, Derek.
