I look forward to using this edition of Romanticism for years to come.” Kim Wheatley, College of William and Mary
“This anthology, even more magnificent and indispensable in its Third Edition, is not simply the most useful or the most learned anthology of English Romantic poetry and thought; it is the most exciting.” Leslie Brisman, Yale University
