ABSTRACT

[Wordsworth and Coleridge] Lyrical Ballads (1798); review by Robert Southey, Critical Review, 2nd Series, XXIV (Oct. 1798), 197-204. Southey generally disapproves of the first significant volume of Wordsworth’s poetry and of Coleridge’s greatest poem. It is not surprising, then, that all three poets objected to being lumped together as the “Lake School.”
