in his ""preface to lyrical ballads"", which is called the "manifesto" of english romantic criticism, wordsworth calls his poems "experimental". the year 1793 saw wordsworth's first published poetry, with the collections "an evening walk" and "descriptive sketches". he received a legacy of £900 from raisley calvert in 1795 so that he could pursue writing poetry. that year, he met samuel taylor coleridge in somerset. the two poets quickly developed a close friendship. in 1797, wordsworth and his sister dorothy moved to alfoxton house, somerset, just a few miles away from coleridge's home in nether stowey. together, wordsworth and coleridge (with insights from dorothy) produced "lyrical ballads" (1798), an important work in the english romantic movement. the volume gave neither wordsworth's nor coleridge's name as author. one of wordsworth's most famous poems, "tintern abbey", was published in the work, along with coleridge's "the rime of the ancient mariner". the second edition, published in 1800, had only wordsworth listed as the author, and included a preface to the poems, which was augmented significantly in the 1802 edition. this preface to lyrical ballads is considered a central work of romantic literary theory. in it, wordsworth discusses what he sees as the elements of a new type of poetry, one based on the "real language of men" and which avoids the poetic diction of much 18th-century poetry. here, wordsworth gives his famous definition of poetry as "the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility." a fourth and final edition of lyrical ballads was published in 1805.
early life of william wordsworth
for the 1800 edition, wordsworth added several poems which make up volume ii. the poem "the convict" (wordsworth) was in the 1798 edition but wordsworth omitted it from the 1800 edition, replacing it with coleridge's "love". "lewti or the circassian love-chaunt" (coleridge) exists in some 1798 editions in place of "the convict".
