영문 초록

Wordsworth’s self-esteem seemed to be extremely low in his life, especially in his twenties. In this difficult period, he had to utilize his poetry to investigate the causes of his anxiety and severe headaches. He had to find subject matters that could reflect his emotional state in order to explore his mind and set it at rest. Most of all, he projected his past emotions based upon his own experience into his first autobiographical work, The Pedlar. He ruminated over and over whether he could put his experiences and emotions in his work. Projecting them into his work, he sharpened his subject and embodied it as a miniature of his life. Through his work, he accepted and expressed his vocation as a poet to imagine and capture what he might be like in the future. He found out his vocation for his sociopolitical problems of the time and shows his own spirit of resistance toward society at the time, while he projected into his poetry the emotions he had gone through as an individual poet. He had the belief that a new kind of literary way to respond to human psychological experiences must be realized. He was a writer who had tried to find a new way to tell about the poor and deprived who had not been included in the sociopolitical debate of his day.
