Description
Published in 1798, Lyrical Ballads is a groundbreaking collection of poems that marked the beginning of the English Romantic Movement in literature. Co-written by friends William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, the collection broke away from traditional poetic form.
The collection features a range of poems, including Wordsworth's 'Lines written a few miles above Tintern Abbey' and 'The Idiot Boy', which use colloquial speech and explore everyday themes. Coleridge's 'The Rime of the Ancyent Marinere' is also included, a supernatural tale of a sailor's voyage.
This edition brings together the original poems in a compact and accessible format, making it an ideal introduction to the works of these two influential poets.
