Items related to Dormant: Lyrical Ballads: With a Few Other Poems
This series aims to provide the student with accessible, annotated editions of key texts in English and American literature from the medieval to the modern period. "Lyrical Ballads" is one of the most famous collections of English verse ever published. Written jointly by Wordsworth and Coleridge, these poets' ambitious aim was to create a radically new kind of verse, addressing the concerns of ordinary humanity in the language of ordinary humanity. In addition to "The Ancient Mariner" and "Tintern Abbey", it includes such poems as "The Idiot Boy", "Nutting" and "Michael". This book reproduces a slightly modernised form of the 1805 text (the last prepared by the poets), including, in full, the poets' comments on their work.

Review:
"...marvellously good...a beautiful example of focused scholarship." Stephen Gill
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.
