Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson; Merry and Pippin; Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy...great duos often help to make great literature. So when two soon-to-be luminaries of the English Romantic movement came together to produce a book of their poems, the result was inevitable. ''Lyrical Ballads'' by William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge was a slow burner for readers, but grew to be lauded as a landmark piece of work, taking English writing in a new direction. Wordsworth does most of the heavy lifting by contributing the majority of the poems, but Coleridge''s efforts include the famous ''The Rime of the Ancient Mariner''. The pair aimed to prick the bubble of what they felt was a snobbish approach to 18th century poetry. In ''Lyrical Ballads'', they use everyday language, add the voices of the poor and focus on the original state of nature. The result is an accessible, original collection that remains fresh to this day. William Wordsworth (1770-1850) was an English poet and a pioneer of the Romantic Age in English literature. His first collections, ''An Evening Walk'' and ''Descriptive Sketches'', were published in 1793. His career took off after he moved to the Lake District with his sister Dorothy. Wordsworth produced countless poems, often on the themes of death and grief, including the first version of his epic ''The Prelude''. He was Poet Laureate from 1843 until his death in 1850. Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) was a founder of the Romantic Movement in English literature and one of the Lake Poets. He wrote literary criticism, including of William Shakespeare''s work, and the major prose book ''Biographia Literaria''. His best-known works were the poems ''The Rime of the Ancient Mariner'' and ''Kubla Khan''.

This book is the first Chinese translation of William Wordsworth's The Prelude. The translation is faithful to the original in form by rendering each line of ten syllables painstakingly into ten Chinese characters. (English and facing Chinese translation) William Wordsworth's (1770-1850) The Prelude is an extremely long poem and one of the important works in the history of English literature. It was originally conceived as an appendix, and then as a prologue, to a great poem to be titled, The Recluse or Views of Nature, Man, and Society, which Wordsworth had planned to compose but never completed. In China, Wordsworth's poems are famous for their description of nature and rural life as well as philosophical contemplation. A Chinese translation of The Prelude is certainly significant and to be welcomed. The translator should be recommended for his hard work, learning, and linguistic skills. On the whole, the translation is quite smooth and relatively faithful to the original. The translator has tried to render the poem into Chinese as elegantly and artistically as he possibly can.Since the original was written in blank verse, and in iambic pentameter, the translator apparently tried to preserve the meter in the entire Chinese translation. He also made effort in rhyming occasionally.
