| WORDSWORTH, William |
| Lyrical Ballads, With a Few Other Poems. -- Saga Egmont, 2022. -- 128. -- Scope and content: Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson; Merry and Pippin; Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy...great duos often help to make great literature. So when two soon-to-be luminaries of the English Romantic movement came together to produce a book of their poems, the result was inevitable. \'Lyrical Ballads\' by William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge was a slow burner for readers, but grew to be lauded as a landmark piece of work, taking English writing in a new direction.Wordsworth does most of the heavy lifting by contributing the majority of the poems, but Coleridge\'s efforts include the famous \'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner\'. The pair aimed to prick the bubble of what they felt was a snobbish approach to 18th century poetry. In \'Lyrical Ballads\', they use everyday language, add the voices of the poor and focus on the original state of nature. The result is an accessible, original collection that remains fresh to this day.-. -- ISBN 9990003841711. |
