About this book

In this volume, Dr Frances Austin examines the language of William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, both regarded as initiators of the Romantic movement in English Literature. She compares and contrasts the poetic language of the two poets, showing their interest in language and their deliberate break from the poetic diction of their predecessors, and the way in which that interest is transmuted into poetry.
