Lyrical Ballads with Other Poems, 1800, Volume 2
"Lyrical Ballads with Other Poems, 1800, Volume 2" by William Wordsworth is a poetry collection published in 1800. This volume expands the revolutionary 1798 collection that launched English Romanticism. Wordsworth sought to overturn formal 18th-century poetry by using everyday language and focusing on common people and nature. The poems explore humanity's original innocence and the corrupting influence of society. This edition includes Wordsworth's famous preface, considered the manifesto of Romanticism, detailing his radical poetical principles that would transform English literature forever.
