Romanticism saw the prevalence of poetry, which best suited the need to give expression to emotional experience and individual feelings. Towards the end of the 18th century there had been a growing appreciation of the power of the imagination, but only with the Romantics did the imagination gain a primary role in the process of poetic composition. The eye of the imagination allowed the Romantic poets to see beyond surface reality and apprehend a truth beyond the powers of reason. An almost divine faculty, the imagination allowed the poet to re-create and modify the external world of experience. The poet was seen 'as a visionary prophet' or 'as a teacher' whose task was to mediate between man and nature, to point out the evils of society, to give voice to the ideals of beauty, truth and freedom. The Romantic poets, however continued to appreciate the natural world and their works were rich in descriptions of natural elements and landscape. These mirrored the poet’s mood and feelings.

Lyrical Ballads Wordsworth’s close friendship with Coleridge proved crucial to the development of English Romantic poetry: they produced a collection of poems called Lyrical Ballads which appeared anonymously in 1798. The second edition of 1800 also contained Wordsworth's famous Preface, which was to become the 'Manifesto of English Romanticism' . Liceo Statale “Don G. Fogazzaro” 11
