Key aspect of preface.
What is poet ?
What is poetry ?
Language of poem.
Subject matter of poem.


 Question 1 What is the basic difference between the poetic of creed 'Classicism' and 'Romanticism'?
 👉  Classicism and Romanticism are two different ideology. They are two schools of thought. It is all about technique of writing.
👉 When we talk about Classicism we see that guiding force is intellect. Where as  when we talk about romanticism guiding force is imagination.
👉 Classical restrained was ruling world. Whereas romantic do not believe in any restrained. They believe that poet is  free to explain what he likes.
👉 Classical represent the urban or a city life whereas romantic represent the rural life.

        Question 2. Why does Wordsworth say’ What' is poet? rather than Who is poet?

Wordsworth talk about what is poet rather then who is poet because he believes that poet is a man speaking to man. He says that poet has more lively sensibilities.  According to Wordsworth poet is a human being who is overall in degree a far better then ordinary human being.

       Question 3 What is poetic diction? Which sort of poetic diction is suggested by Wordsworth in his Preface?

           Poetic Diction means choice of words. Which leads to unique style for each individual poet or Author. In preface he talks about Diction of language. He says that he wants to use language really used by man. Wordsworth says,
         “ He finds humble and rustic life. The humbleness in country side life. The rustic life to be with emotions which are more genius and trying to capture in the words really used by man in countryside.”
   
   Question   4 what is poetry? 

     Wordsworth gives the definition of poetry. According to Wordsworth “ poetry is spontaneous overflow of powerful feeling recollect in tranquility.” Spontaneous is subjective but classical believe in objective. It is difference of their approach to life. 
 
      Question  5 Discuss 'Daffodils - I wandered lonely as a cloud' with reference to Wordsworth's poetic creed.

      In the Wordsworth's definition of poetry there are two words important "spontaneous overflow"  and “recollected in tranquility”.
When we see the poem Daffodils we find that it has four stanza. First three in past and fourth is in present. We can say that when Wordsworth has seen the Daffodils he has spontaneous overflow of feeling and when he was in mood of inpancive he recalled Daffodils and write poetry.
