Lyrical Ballads and other Poems by Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Wordsworth (Annotated)
Enriched Edition. Foundation of English Romanticism and Poetry Principles UnveiledBy Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Wordsworth
Length22h 25m
About this audiobook
Lyrical Ballads and other Poems stands as a foundational volume of English Romanticism, transforming poetic practice through its attention to common life, inward experience, and the imaginative power of nature. Its range extends from conversational lyric and meditative blank verse to supernatural narrative and rustic drama, uniting simplicity of diction with philosophical depth. Pieces such as "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" and "Lines Composed a Few Miles above Tintern Abbey" exemplify the collection's bold redefinition of poetry's subjects and purposes. The collaboration between Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Wordsworth brought together two distinct yet complementary poetic temperaments: one drawn to mystery, symbol, and psychological intensity, the other to memory, moral feeling, and the spiritual education offered by ordinary experience. Emerging amid revolutionary politics, Enlightenment debate, and changing conceptions of the self, their work helped inaugurate a movement that privileged imagination, emotion, and organic form over neoclassical convention. Readers seeking an essential encounter with Romantic literature will find this volume indispensable. It offers a rare opportunity to trace multiple modes of poetic experiment within a single collaborative project, illuminating how diverse voices can reshape literary history. The collection rewards study for its aesthetic innovation, emotional breadth, and enduring dialogue between nature, mind, and society.
