Average Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars

- Romanticism incarnate
I am not a scholar in any sense of the word, but I feel the need to stress how wonderful this collection is. "Lyrical Ballads" is often said to be the beginning of the Romantic Movement, a claim which I can neither refute or prove. What I can say for certain, though, is that it is filled with some of the most moving, thought provoking, and beautiful verses ever put on paper. Whether you are looking for something dark, something whimsical, an epic tale, or a sweet romance-there is something in the collection that will appeal to you. Wordsworth and Coleridge are both masters of their craft, a fact that they prove in "Lyrical Ballads"

Rating:

- 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.

Rating:

- 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.
