A collection of poems exemplifying Romantic aesthetic ideals, whose unique beauty lies in their revolutionary exploration of the 'overflow of powerful emotions recollected in tranquility', Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Wordsworth's Lyrical Ballads is edited with a note on the text by Michael Schmidt in Penguin Classics.Published in 1798, Lyrical Ballads is a dazzling collaboration containing twenty-three poems by close friends, William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge - 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.This Penguin Classics edition allows readers to recapture the full impact and power of Lyrical Ballads. It also includes a note on the history of the text by Michael Schmidt.Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) has been criticized as a political turn-coat, drug addict and plagiarist whose wrecked career left only a handful of magical early poems. But the shaping influence of his highly imaginative criticism is now generally accepted, and his position, along with that of William Wordsworth (1770-1850), as one of the two great progenitors of the English Romantic spirit is assured. A great innovator, Wordsworth permanently enlarged the range of English poetry both in subject matter and treatment.If you enjoyed the Lyrical Ballads, you might like Wordsworth's Selected Poems, also available in Penguin Classics.

About the Author

Coleridge (1772-1834) has been criticized as a political turn-coat, drug addict and plagiarist whose wrecked career left only a handful of magical early poems. But the shaping influence of his highly imaginative criticism is now generally accepted,and his position, along with Wordsworth (1770-1850), as one of the two great progenitors of the English Romantic spirit is assured. A great innovator, Wordsworth permanently enlarged the range of English poetry both in subject matter and treatment.Michael Schmidt is Professor of English and Director of the Writing School at Manchester Metropolitan University. He is the author of the critical history LIVES OF THE POETS (1999), THE STORY OF POETRY (five volumes, 2001-), and THE FIRST POETS- LIVES OF THE ANCIENT GREEK POETS.

I am about to take an adult education course in English romantic poetry. I ordered Lyrical Ballads (1798) because it has been credited with giving impetus to the romantic movement in English poetry. I received a volume which faithfully presents - event o 1798 spelling - what is in the original volume. I will thoroughly enjoy reading it.

Lyrical Ballads: Wordsworth and Coleridge A.R. JONES, R. L. Brett, A. R. Jones Kindle-Edition

I bought the Kindle edition early in February 2013 and having read almost half of it now I am very disappointed. For one, the Table of contents could not be less informative, none of the poems are actually listed here!!! Different chapters do no start on new pages. Poems are not clearly separated from each other and in some cased it is hard to tell where one poem ends and another begins; the poems themselves are broken up in segments that make no sense with blank lines appearing all over the place, their titles are in the same size font as the text itself (and consequently look much less consequential than the fully capitalised subtitles), and to add insult to injury, there are a number of scanning errors. If publishers want us to turn to e-books they should do a better job of preparing such books for different e-readers.
