English Romantic poetry from its beginnings and its flowering to the first signs
of its decadence. Nearly all the famous piéces de résistance will be found here
- 'Intimations of Immortality' , 'The Ancient Mariner' , 'The Tyger' , excerpts
from 'Don Juan' - as well as some less familiar poems. As far as possible the
poets are arranged in chronological order, and their poems in order of
composition, beginning with eighteenth-century precursors such as Gray, Cowper,
Burns and Chatterton. Naturally most space has been given over to the major
Romantics - Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley, Clare and Keats -
although their successors, poets such as Beddoes and Poe, are included too, as
well as early poems by Tennyson and Browning. In an excellent introduction David
Wright discusses the Romantics as a historical phenomenon, and points out their
central ideals and themes.
