Публикуваната през 1798 г. стихосбирка "Лирически балади" си е извоювала запазено място в историята на английската литература. Става дума за книга- манифест, която си поставя за цел да прокара нови идеи за това, как и защо се пише поезия. Романтическият опит за демократизация на литературата, без да се жертва мощта на индивидуалното поетическо въображение, до голяма степен определя идеологиите на литературното творчество и до днес. Стиховете на Уордзуърт и Колридж посягат едновременно към тукашното и към отвъдното, към всекидневното и към свръхестественото. Макар и да не се радва на същата световна популярност, ... |

Пропуснати уроци от българската история. ... Сборникът от исторически есета предлага на просветената публика кратки разрези на отделни аспекти от българското минало, които не са натоварени с тежък академичен научен апарат, но това не означава, че поднесените факти и анализи са неверни или скалъпени.

Основната цел на автора не е да пише история заради самата история, т.е. да се ограничи в сухо, системно, скучновато ... |
