All the Romanticism you need

Customer Rating:

This is a book aimed, I would imagine, mostly at university students. And if you're studying the Romantics at uni then this is mostly all you'll need. It's got a good variety of poets, some excellent notes (on the pages, not at the back of the book, thankfully) and it even has some very nice paintings of the poets included. My only criticism is - and this mostly relates to the William Blake section - it would have been great to see the plates that originally accompanied the poems. Especially in the Marriage of Heaven and Hell, these pictures are quite integral and pop up every so often (it does tell you where they originally went but it doesn't show the plates). I'm sure printing would've costed more but I think it would have been worth it. It's very difficult to find these pictures so having them in the anthology would have been nice. Anyway overall as an essential for Romanticism students and enthusiasts alike, this is a very good anthology.
