There is no doubt that Wordsworth was one of the representative Romantic poets. His Lyrical Ballads is one of the most significant poetry anthology after the Renaissance. I chose “She dwelt among the untrodden ways” and “I wandered lonely as a cloud” to analyze the Romantic ideas what reflected from these two poems.
Wordsworth describes a lonely and unknown girl in the poem “She dwelt among the untrodden ways”. Nobody praises and loves the girl who dwelt among the untrodden ways.
