Description
Lyrical Ballads 1798 and 1802 is a foundational collection of poems that helped shape the English Romantic movement. This joint publication by William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge features many of the poems that defined their era, including 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner' and 'Lines written a few miles above Tintern Abbey'. The collection also includes Wordsworth's influential Preface, which serves as a manifesto for Romanticism and poetry in general. This edition brings together both the original 1798 collection and the expanded 1802 edition, with the fullest version of the Preface and Wordsworth's important Appendix on Poetic Diction. The book includes important letters, a wide-ranging introduction, and generous notes to provide context and clarity. For readers interested in understanding the development of Romanticism and its impact on poetry, this edition offers a valuable insight into the work of two of England's most celebrated poets.
