This volume contains a rich selection of poems by England's six great Romantic poets: William Blake, William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Lord Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and John Keats. Encompassing a broad range of subjects, styles, and moods, the emphasis of these late 18th and early 19th century poets is imagination and individual experience, as well as a preoccupation with such themes as nature, death, and the supernatural.
