To My Sister
“To my Sister” by William Wordsworth
William Wordsworth has a bibliography of an interesting way to how he became of lover for poetry. On April 7, 1770, William Wordsworth was born in Cockermouth, Cumbria, England. Wordsworth’s mother died when he was eight, for this being the first major death in his life, it challenged him and shaped his life from there on. Wordsworth attended Hawkshead Grammar School, where his love of poetry was firmly established. While he was at Hawkshead, Wordsworth’s father died leaving him and his four siblings orphans. By just living off his siblings, Wordsworth learned to love and cherish nothing but them; he was closest to his sister. After Hawkshead, Wordsworth studied at St. John’s College in Cambridge and before his final semester, he set out on a walking tour of Europe, an experience that influenced both his poetry and his political sensibilities. In Europe, Wordsworth came into contact with the French Revolution, this experience was pretty unique since he was living in France, and this then brought Wordsworth’s interest and sympathy for the life, troubles, and speech of the “common man.” Wordsworth earliest poetry was published in 1793 in the collections “An Evening Walk and Descriptive Sketches”. He soon had a daughter named, Caroline, he left France, however, before she was born. In 1802, he returned to France with his sister on a four-week visit to meet Caroline. Later that year, he married Mary Hutchinson, a childhood friend, and they had five children together. In 1812, while living in Grasmere, two of their children— Catherine and John—died. Worthsworth by now had the sympathy to deal with his mother, father, daughter, and son dying on him. He continued to write poetry. His most famous work was called “The Prelude” , which was written in 1850. Many saw this reading to be the accomplishment of English romance. This writing had been worked on throughout Wordsworth whole life, but finally being publish, turned the poetry
