The Grasmere Poetry

The Grasmere Poetry refers to a collection of works by the English Romantic poets William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, created while they lived in the Lake District, particularly in Grasmere, during the early 19th century. This phase marked the emergence of their unique style, emphasizing nature, emotion, and personal experience. Their collaboration resulted in celebrated works that explored profound themes of beauty, humanity, and the connection with nature. The most notable publication from this period is the "Lyrical Ballads" (1798), which is regarded as a cornerstone of Romantic literature and a departure from the formal poetry of the time.
