Lyrical Ballads, With A Few Other Poems by William Wordsworth
A landmark late-18th-century collection that helped launch the Romantic movement, combining simple, colloquial diction and attention to rural life with experimental narrative ballads and reflective nature lyrics; it includes an influential preface arguing that poetry should use everyday speech and focus on emotion and imagination, and the poems explore memory, moral experience, human sympathy, and the restorative power of nature through both dramatic tales and intimate meditations.
