Summary of Lyrical Ballads.

Art is the creative view of life.

Lyrical Ballads is a collection of poems by William Wordsworth and Samuel Coleridge, first published in 1978 and generally constructed to have marked the beginning of the Romanticism movement in English literature. There were two-edition of 1800 that was in frequent conversation with Coleridge, that exemplified this new type of writing. His poems were considered to be “experiments” to determine how far the language of conversation in the middle and lower classes of society is adapted to the purposes of poetic pleasure. His preface implicitly denies the traditional assumption that poetic genres constitute a hierarchy, from epic, and tragedy at the top down through comedy, satire, pastoral, and short lyric at the lowest of the poetic scale, he also rejects traditional ways about what poems were written about.
