William Wordsworth and Samuel Coleridge, where reconised famously for the publication of 'Lyrical Ballads' in 1798. This was considered as the begining of the English Romantic Movement in literature. William Wordsworth born 1770, he had major influnce of nature. As a boy he had much interest in the divine power of nature, and as he became older he expressed a more sensitive conection with nature, different to any poet before him. In 1975 Wordsworth and his sister moved to Dorchester a country with pure beauty compared to there home which had be destroyed and distorted. Then two years later they moved with Coleridge where they began and published 'Lyrical Ballads'.
