| Résumé : |
"Lyrical Ballads, With a Few Other Poems" by Wordsworth and Coleridge is a collection of poetry from the late 18th century that marks a significant turning point in English literature, being a cornerstone of the Romantic movement. This work primarily explores the lives, emotions, and experiences of common people, employing language accessible to the middle and lower classes, which diverges from the ornate style of earlier poetry. The poets aim to provoke a deeper appreciation of nature and the human condition through their verses. The opening of the collection introduces the intention behind the poems and the methodologies employed by the authors. They express a desire to experiment with conversational language while depicting human emotions in a naturalistic manner. The beginning discusses various poems within the collection, mentioning characters such as the titular Ancient Mariner, who shares harrowing tales of his maritime experiences, and Goody Blake, a poor woman whose actions lead to mysterious consequences. This initial section sets the stage for readers to encounter various narratives that reflect the intertwined relationships between humanity and nature, as well as the complexities of life itself. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
This series brings together some of the greatest collections of poetry ever written, in the form in which they first appeared. Completely reset, poetry first editions allow modern readers to recapture the extraordinary impact these books first had and to see some of our most famous poems in their original context. |
