Answer: True.

Explanation:

William Wordsworth (1770 – 1850) was an English Romantic poet. Samuel Taylor Coleridge and him published Lyrical Ballads in 1798, and thus began the Romantic Age in English literature.

In "Preface" to the Lyrical Ballads, Wordsworth discusses his view on poetry. He claims that pleasure in poetry occurs when language used is close to real speech. Good poetry, he argues, includes situations from real life that all people experience. Poetry should unite people regardless of their differences. Wordsworth also writes that a poet is ''a man speaking to men'', who possesses great knowledge about human nature.

Jonathan Swift most likely wrote "a Modest Proposal" to offend the public. True False.

mina [271]

'A Modest Proposal,' written by Jonathan Swift in 1729, begins by deploring the sad fate of the poverty-stricken Irish who have to spend all their time trying to feed their large families. As a solution to the poverty in which these families are forced to live, by virtue of having so many mouths to feed, Swift suggests that these poor Irish families should fatten up their children and sell them to the rich English land owners.

He argues that children could be sold into a meat market as early as the age of one, giving poor families some much needed income, while sparing them the expenses of raising so many children. With 100,000 Irish children out of the population being set aside for dinner, his solution, he reasons, will also help to resolve the issues of overpopulation and unemployment in Ireland, giving the Irish economy a much needed boost, while making it easier for England to deal with its unruly Irish subjects.

Swift then goes on to offer statistical support for his proposal and specific data about the number of children to be sold, their weight and price and the projected eating patterns of their consumers. He even suggests some recipes for preparing this delicious new meat, reasoning that, with innovative cooks generating ever more and delicious new dishes, it will expand and improve the culinary experience of the wealthy, resulting in a healthier and happier population as a whole.

'A Modest Proposal' ends with the argument that the practice of selling and eating children will have positive effects on Irish family morality: husbands will treat their wives with more respect, and parents will value their children in ways as yet unknown. His proposal, he argues, will, if implemented, do more to solve Ireland's complex social, political and economic problems than any other measure that has yet been proposed
