Intended for courses with a major focus on poetry during the Romantic period, this volume includes all the poetry selections from Volume 4 of The Broadview Anthology of British Literature, along with a number of works newly edited for this volume. The Broadview Anthology of Romantic Poetry maintains the Broadview Anthology of British Literatureâ s characteristic balance of canonical favorites and lesser-known gems, featuring a breadth of poetry from William Blake to Phillis Wheatley, from Ebenezer Elliott to Felicia Hemans. To give a sense of the full sweep of the Romantic period, the anthology incorporates important early figures from William Collins to Phillis Wheatley, as well as works by Victoriansâ such as Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Alfred, Lord Tennysonâ for whom Romanticism was a formative force. â Contextsâ sections provide valuable background on cultural matters such as â The Natural and the Sublimeâ and â The Abolition of Slavery,â while the companion website offers a wealth of additional resources and primary works. Longer works newly prepared for the bound book include Byronâ s Manfred and The Giaour, Keatsâ s Hyperion, and substantial selections from Wordsworthâ s fourteen-book Prelude; authors newly added for this volume include Hannah Cowley, Hannah More, Ann Yearsley, Robert Southey, and Thomas Moore.
