Summary of Preface to Lyrical Ballads
A very Neo-classical view of Art: it holds a mirror up to nature. His focus in particular is on human nature. Though he hopes there is ‘little falsehood of description' in his poetry, he admits that an imitation cannot do justice to reality: his words most often fall far "short of that which is uttered by men in real life, under the actual pressure of those passions". Poetry is the most accurate form of knowledge. William Wordsworth is particularly interested in capturing how the human mind responds through the sense when it is excited or aroused by its encounter with the physical world & how the ‘simple' ideas which come to be formed thereby are later associated on combined with others to produce ‘complex' ideas. He avoids "personification of abstract ideas" & "poetic diction" in general, that is the "large position of phrases & figures of speech" which from father to son has long been regarded as the common inheritance of poets. He defends his poetry against the accusation of that it contains "prosaisms". He argues that chose to write in verse because "words metrically arranged" give more pleasure than mere prose. The "end of poetry" is to produce excitement in co existence with an overbalance of pleasure.
One main point of the preface is to relate Wordsworth's intention to depict the common man using the common language of man in his poetry.
William Wordsworth's poetry illustrates the way in which poetry is a "spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings". William Wordsworth makes it very clear in his preface that he wants to depict the common man in a "selection of language really used by man".
William Wordsworth uses these simple people in their simple settings to illustrate how feeling "gives importance to action & situation & not the action & situation to the feelings".
While through his poetry, William Wordsworth achieves most of the goals outlined in the preface, he does not seem to be completely able to show how poetry is a "spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings". It is difficult for him to prove this because the reader can not see the state that William Wordsworth was in when writing the poetry. Nothing from the poetry itself can clearly indicate the emotions felt by the poet. One can merely guess from their own experiences, that William Wordsworth was driven by strong emotions, which helped to guide his poetry.
