Detailed explanation-1: -But the advent of Robespierre’s reign of terror in the autumn of 1793 horrified him, and as the utopian ideals of liberté, egalité et fraternité drowned in a sea of blood, Wordsworth, like many of his contemporaries, became profoundly disillusioned.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Causes of the French Revolution Not only were the royal coffers depleted, but several years of poor harvests, drought, cattle disease and skyrocketing bread prices had kindled unrest among peasants and the urban poor.
Detailed explanation-4: -Stimulated by Coleridge and under the healing influences of nature and his sister, Wordsworth began in 1797–98 to compose the short lyrical and dramatic poems for which he is best remembered by many readers.
Detailed explanation-5: -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).
