Meeting Coleridge was one of the Romantic age's most memorable experiences, and many of his contemporaries left vivid records Wordsworth, Lamb, Hazlitt, Keats, Emerson and many others, often now forgotten. This book is a comprehensive, fully annotated collection of such reminiscences. Drawing on an eclectic range of materials (including private journals, letters, poems, and comic portraits), and printing many texts otherwise difficult to access, it should be a valuable resource for students of romanticism, as well as of interest to Coleridge's admirers.

Published to commemorate the bicentenary of the second edition of "Lyrical Ballads" (1900), this collection gathers essays from ten British and American scholars to explore the distinctive originality of these famous volumes, and to analyze their lasting influence. With essays in cultural history and biographical reconstruction, as well as close readings of the poems and of their leading critics, "1800: The New Lyrical Ballads" offers a comprehensive account of one of the crucial episodes in British Romanticism.
