Lines Composed in a Wood on a Windy Day

I have just started working on this page. I am planning to add more details and interpretation of the poem. Radiantenergy (talk) 03:13, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

We are going to talk about think history in the beginning of our article because it is important to frame the time period that the poem was written in. This poem was written during the Victorian Crisis of faith and it may have influenced the writing of the poem. This was also written during a time where women weren't accepted as serious writers, so Anne and her sisters all wrote under pen names. This poem was also in a collection that included other poems that she wrote as well her sister. We are also going to talk about the location that Anne was when she was was writing the poem.

Next section will contain the breakdown of the meter and rhythm and meter. (Insert poem with breaks). We will also have an analysis of the rhyme scheme and the importance of it. After this we will include an in depth analysis of research and specific references. We will talk about specific words and language in the poem that are significant in the meaning. We are also going to talk about how this poem and the others in the collection were received.

First we will talk about an overview of the history and how it pertains to the poem and the collection. Then we will talk about the rhyme and meter. Then we will analyze the specifics of the poem and the overall theme. Finally, we will discuss how the poem was received at the time and include 7 or more references. We worked on this outline as a group and will continue to find sources.

This looks really good so far! I especially like the introduction, it is really strong. The only thing I see is that it may not be necessary to link her name to her corresponding Wiki page every time it appears--once should be good. :) Sarah darling01 (talk) 22:10, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

I would suggesting moving some of the information in the introduction to a different section. In addition you should remove the stub tag at the bottom of the page. --Bauermen (talk) 21:10, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

Looks really good! I would add some more info about the form of the poem. User:mcintyrl — Preceding undated comment added 06:25, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

The introduction is good, and you have a lot of references, but the history section is a little short. If there isn't anything else to add, it might be better to add that to the introduction instead of making it its own category, but you might be able to find something out about the author that would useful. Just a thought. It already seems pretty complete to me.SBloom123 (talk) 06:55, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

This looks great! It looks like you followed through on most of your plan, however, I would suggest that you add an analysis section, breaking down the poem not only by the meaning of it, but by the structure and rhyme scheme. The history section was great, it is important to introduce the poem in the proper time period, as to get a full grasp on its use of certain literary devices and themes. Good references as well.
