This lovely collection of hundreds of verses from esteemed Romantic poets will stand out on your bookshelf. Romanticism gained traction in the late 1700s as writers moved away from the intellectualism of the Enlightenment and toward more emotional and natural themes. The major works of the movement's five most famous poets--William Wordsworth, George Gordon Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelley, John Keats, and William Blake--are represented in this handsome volume that includes an exquisite heat-burnished cover, foil stamping, and full-color page edges. As one of the largest and most influential artistic movements in history, Romanticism valued intuition and pastoralism, and its themes are well represented in the verses of its stars.
