The ample and judicious selections splendidly illustrate the rich diversity of Romantic poetry in all its forms, while the abundant contextual materials—including the lavish illustrations—situate that poetry within its contemporary intellectual, historical, artistic and cultural contexts. Concise editorial annotations deftly and unobtrusively guide readers through complex or unfamiliar territory and profitably supplement the excellent introductory and supplementary essays. Here is an anthology for all seasons of Romanticism studies, and for students at all levels.” — Stephen C.

Broadview has led the way in the new generation of literature anthologies, and the Romantic Poetry volume offers a characteristic breadth of verse selections from the expanded canon, accompanied by contemporary treatises and commentaries on an array of topics vital to the twenty-first-century classroom: from debates on gender and slavery, to Britain’s imperial and colonial project, to revolutionary politics and the first stresses of industrialization. All this is enriched with illustrations evocative of the budding visual culture of the period, and contained in a single volume that is as thorough as any instructor could wish, while not intimidating to the student in its heft or price.” — Gillen Wood, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“\u003cem\u003eThe Broadview Anthology of Romantic Poetry\u003c\/em\u003e … offers a marvelously diverse body of material; it is much more comprehensive than any other available anthology of British Romantic writings … This is a fine anthology, imaginative and innovative in the way it is organized and rich in the options it offers for access to less anthologized, less generally available works by the British Romantic poets.” — Waqas Khwaja, Agnes Scott College\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“\u003cem\u003eThe Broadview Anthology of Romantic Poetry\u003c\/em\u003e is the most comprehensive collection of verse and prose from this period available today.

It presents a diverse chorus of voices from the period, representing both the traditional canon of romantic writers and also, exhilaratingly, extending beyond that canon, with selections from poets such as Wheatley, Barbauld, Burns, Clare, and Landon, among others. From the editors’ outstanding introductory essay—clear, original, vibrant—to its incredibly rich selection of writings, which are generously and gently annotated, to the enthralling and complex contextual materials covering subjects such as India and the Orient, non-human animals in nature, and steam power, this anthology explores and elaborates “the romantic” in a way that is sure to dazzle students, to enrich their experience of this period’s literature and to enhance classroom discussion of it. The Broadview will be the new gold standard for instructional texts in the field. — Christopher Rovee, Louisiana State University\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“I am so glad to find this anthology.
