A nice collection of works from various poetic heavy-hitters like Wordsworth and Coleridge. If you're looking for an introduction to this particular style and period of poetry, or if you need a thorough selection on the Romantic poets in one handy volume, this is a good book.
A survey of English verse since Thomas Hardy reveals the passage of tradition and represents primarily the works of British Isle poets.
Este libro antologa un buen número de poemas de hasta 35 autores prerrománticos y románticos británicos, que van desde Alexander Pope (1688-1744) hasta Emily Brontë (1818-1848).
