Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Lyrical Ballads, with Other Poems, 1800, Volume 1" by William Wordsworth is a poetry collection first published in 1798. This groundbreaking work, co-authored with Samuel Taylor Coleridge, launched the English Romantic movement by rejecting formal eighteenth-century verse in favor of common, everyday language. The poets focused on simple country people and their emotions, seeking to return readers to nature's original purity. The 1800 edition introduced Wordsworth's famous preface, now considered Romanticism's manifesto, which outlined revolutionary principles about poetry's purpose and accessibility.
