Was Wordsworth the Greatest Poet of the 19th Century?
I actually vastly prefer Coleridge himself. Wordsworth was certainly innovative, but The Rime of the Ancient Mariner showed, in my opinion, much more imagination, narrative flair and word-sense than Wordsworth ever did. And, of course, they both take the stuffing of Alfred Lord “I Think I’ll Take ‘Kublah Kahn’ and Remove All the Fun” Tennyson.
