Main idea of the text ?
The reading passage focuses on a social phenomenon — choosing to be alone on purpose. The passage mainly tells us: what living alone is, what people think of living alone, who prefer living alone, the author’s comments on living alone and what he advises for living in solitude.
William Wordsworth
English poet (1770—1850). Orphaned at 13, Wordsworth attended Cambridge Univ., but remained rootless and virtually penniless until 1795, when a legacy made possible a reunion with his sister D. Wordsworth. He became friends with S. T. Coleridge, with whom he wrote Lyrical Ballads (1798), the collection often considered to have launched the English Romantic Movement. In 1843 he became England's poet laureate. He is regarded as the central figure in the initiation of English Romanticism.
