Lyrical Ballads: With a Few Other Poems by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Wordsworth

3.0

Even though I'm prejudiced generally in favor of classics I did not care overall for this collection and its style. I liked a few of the poems (Rime of the Ancient Mariner, The Nightingale, Tinturn Abbey), but I liked Rime a lot less than when I first read it in elementary school. I think the "asides" and forced rhyming got to me.

I picked this up because it was suggested by Hardcore Literature (Benjamin McEvoy) as a great complement to Middlemarch. I'll set it aside and try to come back to it later.
