The Romanticism that emerged after the American and French revolutions of 1776
and 1789 represented a new flowering of the imagination and the spirit, and a
celebration of the soul of humanity with its capacity for love. This
extraordinary collection sets the acknowledged genius of poems such as Blake's
'Tyger', Coleridge's 'Khubla Khan' and Shelley's 'Ozymandias' alongside verse
from less familiar figures and women poets such as Charlotte Smith and Mary
Robinson. We also see familiar poets in an unaccustomed light, as Blake,
Wordsworth and Shelley demonstrate their comic skills, while Coleridge, Keats
and Clare explore the Gothic and surreal.
