The Romantic Poets cover

This welcome addition to the Blackwell Guides to Criticism series provides students with an invaluable survey of the critical reception of the Romantic poets.


  • Guides readers through the wealth of critical material available on the Romantic poets and directs them to the most influential readings
  • Presents key critical texts on each of the major Romantic poets – Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley and Keats – as well as on poets of more marginal canonical standing
  • Cross-referencing between the different sections highlights continuities and counterpoints

“This anthology is not concerned with defining Romanticism, but rather is dedicated to producing a historical narrative that will guide students through the immense number of critical responses to the canonical Romantic poets.” (Studies in English Literature, Fall 2008)

"Authoritatively pithy, lucidly introduced and of great use to undergraduates." (BARS Bulletin & Review, July 2008)
