Lyrical Ballads (1798 and 1800) constituted a quiet poetic revolution, both in its attitude to its subject-matter and its anti-conventional language. Those volumes and Wordsworth's and Coleridge's other major poems were central to the Romantic period and remain classic texts in our own time. Wordsworth focuses on 'the essential passions of the heart' and achieves a penetrating insight into love and death, solitude and community. Coleridge explores a more fantastic and dreamlike imagination and also writes poems of quiet, conversational meditation. Both poets look with a fresh and visionary eye at the human and the natural world. They examine the condition of men and women at the extreme edge of society; they are also subtle analysts of their own minds and the processes of introspection and memory. This volume contains all of Lyrical Ballads (1798) with Wordsworth's Preface of 1800/1802, and a wide-ranging selection of both poet's other work, including virtually all their best known and discussed shorter poems.

William Wordsworth va néixer a la casa familiar de Cumberland el dia 7 d’abril de 1770 i, amb els anys, acabaria convertint-se en el poeta cabdal del Romanticisme anglès. Amb el seu amic, el poeta Samuel Taylor Coleridge, va definir les característiques d’una nova poesia amb la publicació d’un llibre mític: Balades líriques. Durant la joventut, va defensar els ideals anarquistes i llibertaris que van sorgir a partir de l’esclat de la Revolució Francesa, a la qual es va afegir amb entusiasme fins que es va sentir traït, fet que en la seva vellesa el va portar a abraçar idees més conservadores. Es va refugiar al Lake District, la regió dels llacs, amb la seva família i els seus amics, i va escapar de la vida mundana per dedicar-se a la seva obra. Tanmateix, aquest eremitisme no va impedir que s’acabés convertint en el poeta més venerat d’Anglaterra. Va morir el dia 23 d’abril de 1850 i, després d’un decés que va commoure tota la nació, la seva vídua va donar a conèixer el manuscrit que el poeta havia estat treballant durant gairebé cinquanta anys: el llarg poema filosòfic i autobiogràfic conegut com El preludi, la seva obra mestra i una de les fites de la literatura universal.
