Full description for Lyrical Ballads
Published in 1798, "Lyrical Ballads" is a dazzling collaboration containing twenty-three poems by close friends, William Wordsworth (1770-1850) and Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) - two major figures of English Romanticism. The volume heralded a new approach to poetry and expresses the poets' reflections on mankind's relationship with the forces of the world. Coleridge's contribution includes the nightmarish vision of "The Rime of the Ancyent Marinere", one of the works for which he became best known, as well as the fantastical conversational poem "The Foster-Mother's Tale" and the melancholic "The Nightingale".Wordsworth's "We are Seven" depicts a child's naive optimism in the face of the cruel mortality, while "Goody Blake and Harry Gill" and "Simon Lee" celebrate the simplicity and strength he perceived in country people, and "Tintern Abbey" explores the healing powers of nature. Published as part of the "Penguin Poetry First Editions" series in which the greatest collections of poetry in English will be published in their original form. All texts have been completely reset and some minor changes made to punctuation.
