Explanation:

The Preface to the Lyrical Ballads (1801) is an essay included in the second edition of William Wordsworth's poetry collection, Lyrical Ballads.

In this essay, Wordsworth expresses his desire to focus on "incidents of common life" in his work. In doing so, he will use "plainer and more emphatic language." This means that he is going to use clear language which will appeal to the readers' emotions. According to Wordsworth, focusing on ordinary life and using clear diction is the best way to connect with his audience.
