Detailed explanation-1: -In 1843 Wordsworth was named poet laureate of England, though by this time he had for the most part quit composing verse.
Detailed explanation-2: -Wordsworth was Laureate for only seven out of his eighty years, and by the time he accepted the post, his best work was done: Lyrical Ballads (1798), Prelude (1805; published 1850), and Poems (1807). He was well equipped to make a great laureate. Unfortunately the office came to him forty years too late.
Detailed explanation-3: -Robert Southey (/ˈsaʊði/ or /ˈsʌði/; 12 August 1774 – 21 March 1843) was an English poet of the Romantic school, and Poet Laureate from 1813 until his death.
Detailed explanation-4: -Wordsworth’s most famous work, The Prelude (Edward Moxon, 1850), is considered by many to be the crowning achievement of English Romanticism. The poem, revised numerous times, chronicles the spiritual life of the poet and marks the birth of a new genre of poetry.
