Detailed explanation-1: -Wordsworth had great hopes for the Revolution, and he believed that once a republic was firmly in power in France, he and his contemporaries “should see the people having a strong hand/ In framing their own laws; whence betters day; To all mankind” (Wordsworth, Book IX, lines 517-18).
Detailed explanation-2: -The poet William Wordsworth was born in Cockermouth, Cumberland on 7 April 1770. Much of his poetry was inspired by the dramatic landscapes of the Lake District, and his work did much to alter public perceptions of that part of England.
Detailed explanation-3: -The unification of Germany was inspired by the French Revolution.
Detailed explanation-4: -In this poem “The French Revolution", Wordsworth describes the rapture and enthusiasm with which the French revolution was greeted after the French revolution. The common place world encumbered with senseless customs, laws and tyranny seemed to become an enchanting world of romance.
Detailed explanation-5: -Initially, he found himself at odds with the public mood in his home country – his political affiliations and emotional loyalty were still very much with France. Indeed, in his Letter to the Bishop of Llandaff, written in early 1793, he is as defiant in his defence of the Revolution as ever.
