Central to the creative process of the Romantic poets that followed
him, Wordsworth's Preface to the Lyrical Ballads has been both a
gift and a thorn in the side of critics for over a century. Readers
find themselves drawn back to the essay repeatedly as they seek to
untangle the ideas and contradictions within it. The Preface is a
statement of Wordsworth's poetic vision and offers an explanation
of the poetic process behind the poems, which fused the rusticity
of the ballad form with the psychological introspection of
modernity. But to the generation of Romantic writers that emerged
in its wake, the Preface announced a new understanding of the
creative process and of the high purposes of poetry: to reveal the
human condition, and to awaken in its readers the profoundest
emotions and the most enduring truths of existence.
