The Lyrical Ballads, written with Coleridge, is a landmark in the history of English romantic poetry. His celebration of nature and of the beauty and poetry in the commonplace embody a unified and coherent vision that was profoundly innovative. <P>This volume presents the poems in their order of composition and in their earliest completed state, enabling the reader to trace Wordsworth's poetic development and to share the experience of his contemporaries. It includes a large sample of the finest lyrics, and also longer narratives such as The Ruined Cottage, Home at Grasmere, Peter Bell, and the autobiographical masterpiece, The Prelude (1805). All the major examples of Wordsworth's prose on the subject of poetry are also included.1079721904The Major Works: Including The Prelude (Oxford World's Classics)total:437|5:170|4:159|3:83|2:21|1:4|43717816673230falsefalseThu Jul 24 00:00:00 -0700 2008Fri May 23 10:34:33 -0700 2008Tue Jul 29 10:30:57 -0700 2008

2. He completely took over Lyrical Ballads with his trite sayings about daffodils, when Coleridge's poems are really what interests (me, at least) the most.
