Synopsis

<p><i>Lyrical Ballads</i> is a collection of poems by <a href="https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/william-wordsworth_samuel-taylor-coleridge">William Wordsworth and his friend and contemporary Samuel Taylor Coleridge</a>. A hugely influential work, <i>Lyrical Ballads</i> is generally acknowledged to have started the Romantic movement in English literature—a period marked by a departure from the stiff and unapproachable poetry of earlier times, and by a focus on readable, relatable verse written in everyday language. Many of Wordsworth’s poems focus on the natural world and the down-to-earth people of the country, another far departure from the rational and dry literature of old. Romanticism was one of the largest sea changes in modern English literature, and <i>Lyrical Ballads</i> was its catalyst.</p> <p>This ebook edition is based on the 1805 edition of <i>Lyrical Ballads</i>, and features the famous poems <i>The Rime of the Ancient Mariner</i>, “Tintern Abbey,” “Expostulation and Reply,” “Lucy Gray,” and many others.</p>
