Encompassing a broad range of subjects, styles, and moods, English poetry of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries is generally classified under the term "Romantic," suggesting an emphasis on imagination and individual experience, as well as a preoccupation with such theme as nature, death, and the supernatural.
This volume contains a rich selection of poems by England's six greatest poets: William Blake (24 poems, including "The Tyger" and "Auguries of Innocence"), William Wordsworth (27 poems, including "Ode: Intimations of Immortality" and "I wandered lonely as a cloud"), Samuel Taylor Coleridge (10 poems, including "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" and "Kubla Khan"), Lord Byron (16 poems, including "The Prisoner of Chillon" and selections from Don Juan and Childe Harold's Pilgrimage), Percy Bysshe Shelley (24 poems, including "Ode to the West Wind" and "Adonis"), John Keats (22 poems, including all the great odes, "Isabella," and "The Eve of St. Agnes").
For this edition, Stanley Appelbaum has provided a concise Introduction to the Romantic period and brief commentaries on the poets represented. The result is a carefully selected anthology that will be welcomed by lovers of poetry, students, and teachers alike.

Title: The World has Changed
Review: English Romantic Poetry: An Anthology (Dover Thrift Editions) hits all the major Romantic poets, Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Keats and Shelly.If you are like me, and have not read these poets since high school or college, and when you read them you did so apathetically, then this is a book loaded with gems. Stylistically, thematically, and linguistically, these poems are at once familiar and numinous. They are protean forms in the mind and heart, forming shifting, evocative images and scenes.The Dover Editions once sat on a rack near the register of book stores (do they still?) As if these little one or two dollar books were an impulse purchase like a pack of gum. The world has changed a great deal.

Title: An interesting collection of English Romantic Poetry for those who are into early English poetry.
Review: For most of my life I have had a passion for poetry. Even though I am not a real fan of English poetry, decided to expand my horizons and read more poetry on this topic. This volume (English Romantic Poetry: An Anthology edited by Stanley Appelbaum) focuses on six poets of the English Romantic era. They include work from William Blake, William wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, George Gordon, Lord Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelley and John Keats.There are numerous wonderful poems in this collection but I also found a few that were just too long and sometimes boring to read. I did like one of the long poems (Samuel Taylor Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner), but I have always loved the short poem forms best. Some of the long poems in this collection are longer than many short stories I have read. I am sure some poetry lovers enjoy these long never ending poems, but this is not my cup of tea. Nevertheless, there are many beautiful poems in this collection from some of England's most famous poets and that is why I liked it enough to give it 4 stars.In conclusion, if you are an English poetry lover you will probably enjoy this volume.Rating: 4 Stars.

Title: Buy it for Quayle's Wordsworth.
Review: Ralph Richardson was such a fine actor, how could he produce such a dreadful rendition of Coleridge and Blake? His 'Kubla Khan' sounds for all the world like a master of ceremonies at a boxing match -- 'And in the red corner, representing Xanadu...!' It's painful to listen to. He declaims and announces rather than recites. However -- and it is a big however -- Frederick Worlock's recitation of Burns and Anthony Quayle's Shelley and Wordsworth are superb. In particular, Quayle delivers Wordsworth with an insight and sensitivity that is truly remarkable. His is a carefully thought out and finely-honed performance. If these particular recordings are not available elsewhere (I have no idea if they are) then it's worth buying these tapes just for them. Worlock too is excellent, perfectly at home with Burns' dialect. But Quayle's performance is of the sort that takes you to another place.

Review: An excellent and generous selection of poems by the Big Six Romantic poets - Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley and Keats. Many longer poems are present in full - The Book of Thel by Blake, Wordsworth's Immortality Ode, Colerdge's Ancient Mariner and Christabel, Shelley's Adonais and Keats' Isabella and Eve of St Agnes. Thoroughly recommended.
