Summary:
"It is the most famous year in English poetry. Out of it came The Ancient Mariner and Kubla Khan', as well as
Coleridge
's unmatched hymns to friendship and fatherhood, Wordsworth's revolutionary verses in Lyrical Ballads and the greatness of Tintern Abbey', his paean to the unity of soul and cosmos, love and understanding. Adam Nicolson tells the story, almost day by day, of the year in the late 1790s that

What emerges is a portrait of these great figures as young people, troubled, ambitious, dreaming of a vision of wholeness, knowing they had greatness in them but still in urgent search of the paths towards it. The poetry they made was not from settled conclusions but from the adventure on which they were all embarked, seeing what they wrote as a way of stripping away all the dead matter, exfoliating consciousness, penetrating its depths."
