Loading... English Romantic Poetry: An Anthology (Dover Thrift Editions) (original 1996; edition 1996)by William Blake (Editor)I love this collection of poetry. My copy of this book has a weathered crease on a page with John Keat's "To Sleep" and "When I have fears that I may cease to be". This is a beautiful collection of works from the masters of English romanticism. When I behold, upon the night's starr'd face, Huge cloudy symbols of a high romance, And think that I may never live to trace Their shadows, with the magic hand of chance ---Keats "When I have fears that I may cease to be" This is the kind of book I'm always currently reading, and one I never get tired of; yes, you can find these poems in beaucoups of textbook anthologies, but I like how this one edition focuses on, what I believe to be, the single most influential and greatest period of poetry. Wordsworth, Coleridge, Shelley, Byron, and Keats are all there, and presented in such a way, that you don't feel like you're looking for an express way exit when you're three lanes away during the 4 o'clock rush hour. This is a good edition, and the poems are certainly accessible, and the book doesn't weigh heavier than the chasis on a 57 Chevy. God, I love "Tintern Abbey" ! |
