Lyrical Ballads is a landmark collection of poems published in 1798 by English poets Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Wordsworth. Its poems included Coleridge’s “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” and Wordsworth’s “Tintern Abbey.” Many of its pieces were written in a conversational tone or rhythm and used common (rather than formal) language, which was considered revolutionary. The collection effectively marked the beginning of English Romanticism.
