WILLIAM WORDSWORTH Lyrical Ballads 1798 Published anonymously, for political reasons, the first edition of Lyrical Ballads was to prove one of the most revolutionary books of verse ever to appear in English. Opening with The Ancient Mariner and ending with Tintern Abbey, it announced, as Hazlitt wrote, a new style and spirit in poetry: 'It had to me something of the effect that arises from the turning up of the fresh soil, or of the first welcome breath of spring.'
