Detailed explanation-1: -The French Revolution helped to humanize Wordsworth as his works transitioned from extremely natural experiences to facing the realities and ills of life, including society and the Revolution. From then on, his focus became the interests of man rather than the power and innocence of nature.
Detailed explanation-2: -The sonnet was a popular form of poetry during the Romantic period: William Wordsworth wrote 523, John Keats 67, Samuel Taylor Coleridge 48, and Percy Bysshe Shelley 18.
Detailed explanation-3: -Wordsworth is best known for Lyrical Ballads, co-written with Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and The Prelude, a Romantic epic poem chronicling the “growth of a poet’s mind.”
Detailed explanation-4: -The Romantic Revival in English literature is not in small ways due to the ideas of French revolution. The revolutions of the Classicism were too shifting for the poets who had drunk deep at the idea of the liberty. William Cowper, Robert Burns besides Wordsworth and Coleridge were influenced by this great event.
