Lyrical Ballads by William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Lyrical Ballads by William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Two young poets published this anonymously in 1798 with the deliberate intention of writing about ordinary people in the language ordinary people actually used, which at the time was close to a manifesto.

It opens with Coleridge's Rime of the Ancient Mariner and closes with Wordsworth's Tintern Abbey, and between them are poems about a shepherd, an idiot boy, a mad mother and a girl in a churchyard. Wordsworth's preface to the second edition, included here, is the founding document of Romantic poetics.

The book that changed English poetry, with both poets' contributions and the full preface.
