Byrons romanticism--a form that dominated the practice of 19th-century poetry throughout Europe--differs greatly from Wordsworths and Coleridges  whose works influenced the way the twentieth century came to think about romantic pieces. And Blakes romanticism holds a very special position  as it had to wait until the coming of PreRaphaelitism (a mixture of late romantic attitudes and early modern gestures) to receive its laurels. In The New Oxford Book of Romantic Period Verse  McGann explores the wide range of verse that was published in Britain between the years 1785 and 1832. Here are selections from all the major and minor Romantic poets  as well as important political and satiric verse of the period  the continuing tradition of sentimental verse  regional and dialect verse  and verse in translation. McGann has attempted to preserve a sense of the historical age: as a result we find Coleridges classic \"The Rime of the Ancyent Marinere\" and Darleys \"It is not beautie I demande\" in their original form. And organizing the material by date of first appearance  and not by author grouping  McGann calls attention to the historical and cultural contexts in which the poetry in embedded--he ends the collection with Alfred Tennysons \"The Palace of Art \" because that poem  as well as the volume from which it is taken  represent Tennysons farewell to romanticism. In addition  McGann has found that while there were many great romantic women writers  they have been forgotten and neglected by recent collections. Here he provides the works of Felicia Dorothea Hemans  who was one of the most widely published and widely read poets of the nineteenth century  as well as poems by Anne Yearsley  Anne Radcliffe  Laetitia Barbauld  Mary Tighe  Lady Morgan  and Laetitia Elizabeth Landon. The works of William Blake  Robert Burns  Charles Lamb  William Wordsworth  Mary Lamb  George Crabbe  Lord Byron  Percy Bysshe Shelley  John Keats  and other distinguished writers serve to round out this evocative anthology. With an appendix including the manifesto to the romantic movement  Wordsworths Preface to the \"Lyrical Ballads \" The Oxford Book of Romantic Period Verse is a treasury of the imaginative desire that inspired the romantic experience.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948513095733,"sku":"ByrdShop_0192141589","price":34.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780192141583.jpg?v=1770361082","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-new-oxford-book-of-romantic-period-verse-oxford-books-of-verse","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
