A comprehensive resource for studying the Lyrical Ballads
This review is for the Broadview Edition of the Lyrical Ballads: 1789 and 1800ISBN-10 : 1551116006ISBN-13 : 978-1551116006𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭: Print quality is good, but typesetting could be better [4/5]The typesetting is more or less accurate to the original, although it lacks the 1800s charm of large margins and old typefaces, which, when one reads Coleridge's remarks to his printer Joseph Cottle, he found important to the reading experience of the book. Nonetheless, the poems as presented are fairly faithful. The only problem is that the monotonous use of only a single typeface diminishes the reading experience somewhat.𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭: Amazing library of resources and outside information on the Lyrical Ballads compiled into one volume [5/5]The amount of associated texts is immense and highly useful in understanding the Lyrical Ballads as a whole. What I found most useful were the letters in the appendix of each version of the Lyrical Ballads; these letters document the composition and the publication history of the volume. Furthermore, the footnotes and marginal comments are, on the whole, excellent as well. Any reader, equipped with some amount of time and dedication, should be able to find this volume rewarding at the very least, if not inspiring and intellectually engaging.

A classbook for home pleasure
I liked the poems in this book when I took my romanticism class, and it helped me get exposed to a little more of Wordsworth's poetry, one of my favorite poems.
