Lyrical Ballads

<b>Twenty-three poems that transformed English poetry</b> <p> Wordsworth and Coleridge composed this powerful selection of poetry during their youthful and intimate friendship. Reproducing the first edition of 1798 this edition of <i>Lyrical Ballads</i> allows 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. <p/></p>
