“…In the late 18th century, British intellectuals (among others) embraced many of Herder's sentiments leading to the growth of what has come to be known as the Romantic Era (Blanning, 2001). In an attempt to 'tease out' or recapture the cultural heritage of Britain, poets such as William Wordsworth (Mason, 2010) viewed rustic peasants as the guardians and transmitters of a unique and precious cultural heritage. Wordsworth, for example, wrote in a style that attempted to replicate the way that humble farmers talked, thought, and acted.…”

In the 19th century, Romantic Nationalism provided an alternative to rational visions and universal strategies for mankind. Doing so involved affirming that cultures are products of their heritage and that people are emotionally connected to them. As a result, alternative ways of life should not be forced upon people. By adapting Romantic Nationalism in order to analyse of tensions in the later years of the Ottoman Empire, a widely understood paradigm of cultural stability and change is applied to a crucial era in Middle Eastern history.

“…However when he saw the pursuit of democracy, freedom and equality evolved into bloody slaughters and chaotic riots, his attitudes turned upside down. In the Prelude, Wordsworth portrays the crisis as "soul's new low, the lowest time" (Mason, 2010), which led to his "emotional desperation". Before long, British formed the anti-French League with other European countries.…”

The Solitary Reaper is one of William Wordsworth's representatives which portrays an Irish girl working and singing solitarily in a field. This poem fully reflects the loneliness of the poet. He uses varying wording and phrasing, the lonely image of the reaper, the expanding of the lonely music, and the way of expressing his loneliness to set the lonely atmosphere. Therefore, it is necessary to thoroughly illustrate the diction and rhetoric devices which help to convey the sense of loneliness of the poet.

William Wordsworth (1770–1850) was perhaps the greatest poet of the nineteenth century, his influence on Victorian readers and writers alike unrivaled in the period. His poetry, which championed benevolence and emotional response as well as intellectual attentiveness, shaped the Victorians’ reception of religion and spirituality, science, education and philosophy, and humanitarian welfare and social reform. From his relationships with Dorothy Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge to Felicia Hemans and George and Margaret Beaumont, Wordsworth was a writer of community, as well as of nature, subjects that dovetail for him in his constant focus on the poor and socially outcast.
