Lyrical Ballads

Lyrical Ballads1798

Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Wordsworth, Thomas Hutchinson, William 1770-1850 Wordsworth

About this book

Twenty-three poems that transformed English poetry. Wordsworth and Coleridge composed this powerful selection of poetry during their youthful and intimate friendship. Reproducing the first edition of 1798, this edition of "Lyrical Ballads" allows modern readers to recapture the book's original impact. In these poems including Wordsworth's Lines written a few miles above Tintern Abbey and Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancyent Marinere, the two poets exercised new energies and opened up new themes.
