BIOGRAPHY
Wordsworth produced his most important works during the years 1797-1808, a period during which he was mainly settled in England, reunited with his sister, and inspired by a feeling of close contact with nature. His second volume of poetry, Poems, in Two Volumes, appeared in 1807, and though he completed the autobiographical poem "The Prelude" in 1805, it was not published until 1850, after Wordsworth's death. As he grew older, Wordsworth grew increasingly conservative. While he continued to write prolifically, little of his of his later work attained the heights of the earlier work.
