Description
This comprehensive critical reading of English Romantic poetry offers a detailed exploration of the major poets of the era. Harold Bloom's work provides a valuable introduction to the Romantics, while also offering influential insights into literary criticism.
The book delves into the themes of Romantic myth-making and the dialectical relationship between nature and imagination through perceptive interpretations of key poems by Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley, Keats, Beddoes, Clare, and Darley. A new edition features an introductory essay on the historical backgrounds of English Romantic poetry and an epilogue relating the book to literary trends.
