Summary
Twenty-three poems that transformed English poetryWordsworth and Coleridge composed this powerful selection of poetry during their youthful and intimate friendship. Reproducing the first edition of 1798, this edition of Lyrical Balladsallows 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.
