Lyrical Ballads

Lyrical Ballads, 1798, was the flame that lit the English Romantic movement, its spark being that of the somewhat earlier William Blake.

The book was a joint venture between William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Both set out to overturn the priggish, learnéd and highly sculpted forms of eighteenth century English poetry.
