The English Romantic period flourished in the years between 1780 and 1830, as political and cultural revolutions were taking hold through Europe. The Romantic sensibility yearned to express the unconscious and the irrational, and to champion the natural world now threatened by industrial society. This volume features readings from works of Blake, Burns, Coleridge, Wordsworth, Byron, Shelley and Keats.
