Lyrical Ballads
From Academic Kids
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 what they considered the priggish, learned and highly sculpted forms of eighteenth century English poetry.
