Zusammenfassung:This New Riverside Edition of Lyrical Ballads, edited by William Richey (University of South Carolina) and Daniel Robinson (Widener University), contains the entire 1798 London edition of Lyrical Ballads, as well as a wide variety of related writings from the era. To provide a sense of the intellectual climate from which Lyrical Ballads emerged, the volume features selections from influential philosophers such as Adam Smith, David Hartley, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau; to situate the work within its historical and political context, the edition contains excerpts from writers such as Mary Wollstonecraft, Edmund Burke, and Jeremy Bentham; and to illustrate the revolutionary and experimental nature of Wordsworth and Coleridge's poetry in Lyrical Ballads, the volume offers a generous sampling of ballads, rustic and humanitarian poetry, and nature poems by their contemporaries. The edition concludes with a section that contains contemporary reviews and poetic responses, as well as the poets' own later reactions and revisions to Lyrical Ballads. Each section is prefaced by a detailed introduction that provides readers with a wealth of historical, cultural, and biographical information, making this New Riverside Edition the most comprehensive edition of this important work available.
