‘’The Prelude ‘’by William Wordsworth expresses a strong personal and autobiographical element in the poem. In the poem, the author sets out to show himself in the whole truth of his Nature. ‘’The Prelude’’ is a record of the author’s life from childhood to early middle age. The Nature of the poem is indicated by its sub title, “The Growth of Poet’s Mind’’. It is a tracing of how Nature moulded the mind of the poet in childhood , how disappointments ;not selfish and personal but generous and poetical unsettled his mind and how Nature acting through more kindly influences reawakened the creative impulse and made the poet the master of his fate. This is also known as the confessional element. In this poem, the poet also truthfully admits the gentle crimes committed by himself such as the boat stealing incident and the plundering of the bird’s nests. The soul of his moral being was Nature, which continued to grow with each passing day. The poet’s childhood though not very happy as he was an orphan, provided an excellent preparation for his poetic future. His uncles regarded him with great disfavor but circumstances were kind enough for the poet to shine as bright as he could. The circumstantial evidence is the poetry that he has left for the Nature lovers to enjoy.
