内容简介
An acclaimed anthology celebrating the creative flowering of the English Romantic period
The Romanticism that emerged after the American and French revolutions of 1776 and 1789 represented anew flowering of the imagination and the spirit, and a celebration of the soul of humanity with its capacityfor love. This extraordinary collection sets the acknowledged genius of poems such as Blake?s "TheTyger," Coleridge?s "Kubla Khan," and Shelley?s "Ozymandias" alongside verse from less well knownfigures and women poets such as Charlotte Smith and Mary Robinson. We also see familiar poets in anunaccustomed light, as Blake, Wordsworth, and Shelley demonstrate their comic skills, while Coleridge,Keats, and Clare explore the Gothic and surreal.
