Summary
"Lyrical Ballads (1798) is a work of huge cultural and literary significance. This volume of poetry in which Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancyent Marinere and Wordsworth's Lines written above Tintern Abbey were first published lies at the heart of British Romanticism, establishing a poetics of powerful feeling that is, nonetheless, expressed in direct, conversational language and explores the everyday realities of common life. This engaging, accessible collection provides a comprehensive overview of current approaches to Lyrical Ballads, enabling readers to find fresh ways of understanding and responding to the volume. Sally Bushell's introduction explores how the Preface to the second edition (1800) became a potent manifesto for the Romantic movement. Broad in scope, the Companion includes accessible essays on Wordsworth's experiments with language and metre, ecocritical approaches, the reception of the volume in America and more, furnishing students and scholars with a range of entry points to this seminal text"-- Provided by publisher.
