Sheridan communicated to Coleridge in May 1798 and July 1800 about the possibility of staging "Osorio", but Coleridge resented Sheridan's cavalier handling of his manuscript and referred to him as "a damned impudent Dog". By October 1812, Sheridan's interests in Drury Lane had been bought out and the theatre was run by a subcommittee and largely managed by Samuel Whitbread and Samuel Arnold.

Even the title of the collection recalls rustic forms of art – the word "lyrical" links the poems with the ancient rustic bards and lends an air of spontaneity, while "ballads" are an oral mode of storytelling used by the common people. In the 'Advertisement' included in the 1798 edition, Wordsworth explained his poetical concept: The majority of the following poems are to be considered as experiments.

Chapter XIV describes the preparations with Wordsworth for their revolutionary collaboration "Lyrical Ballads" (first edition 1798), for which Coleridge had contributed the more romantic, gothic pieces including "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner". Poetry and fiction involving the supernatural had gone out of fashion to a large extent in the 18th century, in part due to the declining belief in witches and other supernatural agents among the educated classes, who embraced the rational approach to the world offered by the new science.

In December 1798, Wordsworth sent copies of "Strange fits" and "She dwelt" to Coleridge and followed his letter with "A slumber". Eventually, "A slumber", was published in the 1800 edition of "Lyrical Ballads". Unique amongst Lucy poems, "A slumber" does not directly mention Lucy. The decision by critics to include the poem as part of the series is based in part on Wordsworth's placing it in close proximity to "Strange fits" and directly after "She dwelt" in the "Lyrical Ballads".

The early Romantic Poets brought a new emotionalism and introspection, and their emergence is marked by the first romantic manifesto in English literature, the "Preface" to "Lyrical Ballads" (1798).

The poem "The Convict" (Wordsworth) was in the 1798 edition but Wordsworth omitted it from the 1800 edition, replacing it with Coleridge's "Love".

Francis Jeffrey, a Whig lawyer and editor of the "Edinburgh Review", originally favoured Wordsworth's poetry following the publication of "Lyrical Ballads" in 1798 but turned against the poet from 1802 onward.
