What is The New Oxford Book of Romantic Period Verse (Oxford Books of Verse) about?

<p>As Jerome McGann writes, the poets whom we call the Romantics-Wordsworth, Coleridge, Burns, and Blake, Byron, Shelley and Keats-belonged to an age that saw the development of an extremely diverse array of writing styles. Byron's romanticism-a form that dominated the practice of 19th-century poetry throughout Europe-differs greatly from Wordsworth's and Coleridge's, whose works influenced the way the twentieth century came to think about romantic pieces. And Blake's 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 <b>The New Oxford Book of Romantic Period Verse</b>, McGann explores the wide range of verse that was published in Britain between the years 1785 and 1832.<br> 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 Coleridge's classic The Rime of the Ancyent Marinere and Darle
