Product Description
Twenty-three poems that transformed English poetry
Wordsworth and Coleridge composed this powerful selection of poetry during their youthful and intimate friendship. Reproducing the first edition of 1798, this edition of Lyrical Ballads allows modern readers to recapture the book’s original impact. In these poems—including Wordsworth’s "Lines written a few miles above Tintern Abbey" and Coleridge’s "The Rime of the Ancyent Marinere"—the two poets exercised new energies and opened up new themes.

Beautiful
I've already read through half of it for a class and I love it. The language and the images are amazing. A classic, must read.
Penguin is nice, but could still improve.
The layout is nice, table of contents is convenient. I would have given it 5 stars had there been numbering for the lines of the poem for easier citation.
