“Preface to Lyrical Ballads”, was amazing. I like how it seems to be wrote to the normal person, so that everyone can understand it. It doesn’t seem to have a whole bunch of words that someone cant understand. I also like how the author has a different style that people don’t really see that much, he is able to produce something that people haven’t really seen before, it amazing. With the way he writes this it is almost as if he is protecting his work, like he thinks people are going to criticize it.

In my mind the way he writes, even in the preface, like his word choose and his use of the theme of nature, I would categorize him definitely  as a romantic writer. “He considers man and nature as essentially adapted to each other, and the mind of man as naturally the mirror of the fairest and most interesting qualities of nature”. I mean wow, thats an amazing quote, and it means a lot.
