William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge. First published in 1798 and generally considered to have marked the beginning of the English Romantic movement in literature. Most poems were by Wordsworth. Goal was to make poetry accessible to the average person via verse written in common, everyday language. They emphasize the vitality of the living voice used by the poor to express their reality. This language also helps assert the universality of human emotions
