William Wordsworth Home page

I hope you enjoy Wordsworth’s poems as much as I do.

Studying a poem can be challenging. For your essays, you must focus on Wordsworth’s key ideas and central images. You must also use poetic terms to analyse the poem and to explain Wordsworth’s views, values and attitudes. Using poetic terms also helps you analyse the poet’s deeper and underlying intentions and the poem’s tensions and contradictions.

In the list below, the purpose is on using analytical terms and poetic language. You must apply these to the various poems. You must also analyse the key similarities and differences between poems.

William Wordsworth: Dr Jenny’s Resources; themes; lifestyle, social and political context; using poetic terminology; clever paragraphs. To purchase this 33-page complete set, please see this outline.
