He fell in love with a French woman, Annette Vallon, who in 1792 gave birth to their child, Caroline. In November 1791, Wordsworth returned to France and took a walking tour of Europe that included the Alps and Italy. The following year, he graduated from Cambridge without distinction. Three years later, in 1790, he visited Revolutionary France and supported the Republican movement. His youngest brother, Christopher, rose to be Master of Trinity College of that institution. Wordsworth began attending St John's College, Cambridge in 1787. It took him many years, and much writing, to recover from the death of his parents and his separation from his siblings. Although many aspects of his boyhood were positive, he recalled bouts of loneliness and anxiety. After their father's death, the Wordsworth children were left under the guardianship of their uncles. The Earl's successor, however, settled the claims with interest. The estate consisted of around £4500, most of it in claims upon the Earl, who thwarted these claims until his death in 1802. In 1783 his father, who was a lawyer and the solicitor for the Earl of Lonsdale (a man much despised in the area), died. With the death of his mother in 1778, his father sent him to Hawkshead Grammar School. His sister was the poet and diarist Dorothy Wordsworth. The second of five children, Wordsworth was born in Cumberland-part of the scenic region in northwest England called the Lake District. Wordsworth was England's Poet Laureate from 1843 until his death in 1850. Up until this time it was generally known as the poem "to Coleridge". It was never published during his lifetime, and was only given the title after his death. Wordsworth's masterpiece is generally considered to be The Prelude, an autobiographical poem of his early years that was revised and expanded a number of times. William Wordsworth (Ap– April 23, 1850) was a major English romantic poet who, with Samuel Taylor Coleridge, helped launch the Romantic Age in English literature with their 1798 joint publication, Lyrical Ballads.
