Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This revealing and thought -provoking book brings together some of the finest Romantic poetry in the English language, and provides a nuanced and comprehensive introduction to one of the most dramatic and intensely felt of all literary movements. Starting with the poetry of William Blake and Samuel Taylor Coleridge in the 1790s, and continuing through to the last poems of John Keats and Percy Bysshe Shelley in the early 1800s, this book explores the ways in which Romantic poets sought to overturn Enlightenment certainties, and instead celebrated imagination, intuition, and the beauty of the natural world. In exploring the groundbreaking work of these poets, the author guides the reader through their relationship to literary tradition, their engagements with political radicalism, gender, and the self, and the profound impact they have had on generations of writers and readers who have come after them. This book makes a significant contribution to the study of Romanticism, and thoroughly illuminates the Romantic era for readers and lovers of poetry.
