Which author is associated with the Romantic era and wrote 'Daffodils'?

• A. Coleridge
• B. Keats
• C. Wordsworth
• D. Byron

Answer: (C)

The idea being tested is recognizing a Romantic-era poet and a signature nature-centered poem. The poem about a field of dancing daffodils is written by William Wordsworth, a central figure of English Romanticism. Wordsworth’s work often uses simple, direct language to capture how ordinary natural scenes awaken deep feeling and lasting memory. In this piece, the speaker’s encounter with the daffodils sparks joy and a sense of companionship with nature, and that emotional, imaginative response is exactly what Romantic poetry emphasizes. Coleridge is also tied to Romanticism and worked with Wordsworth on early projects, but the specific poem known as Daffodils is Wordsworth’s. Keats and Byron are Romantic as well, yet their most famous works explore different themes and forms.
