Abstract

The viewpoints, i.e. A child is the father of an adult and the pre-existed soul are the core of William Wordsworth's unique outlook of children. Wordsworth has applied an ideal type to pursue a harmonious relation between man and nature, society and God, which is his style of writing under the particular condition and the sincere exposure of his internal mind. Wordsworth's experience in his early childhood has played an important role in the formation of his outlook of children. As a matter of fact, the poet's recollections of his childhood and his pursuit of truth are to seek for the lost self and the paradise, and long for the eternity, enjoyment and liberty.
