Lyrical Ballads: Dialogues
This video suggests that dialogues of various kinds are central to William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge's 1798 collection Lyrical Ballads: dialogues between poets, genres, verse forms, historical periods, characters, and between the poet's imagination and the object of contemplation
Discussion of the 1800 Preface to Lyrical Ballads and M.H. Abrams's Mirror and the Lamp as model for the Romantic imagination
This video was part of a trio recorded in peak lockdown 2020 - I had a permit to work on campus. One of the video segments introduced Lyrical Ballads while chronicling my commute to work (with a great deal of background noise), a third discussed 'The Thorn' and
'We Are Seven'. I've altered the running-order here as video 2 is probably most useful and video 1 has a great deal of road sounds which may be irritating.
