The Broadview Anthology of Romantic Poetry is the most comprehensive collection of verse and prose from this period available today. Scrupulously and judiciously edited, it combines selections from a wide array of major and lesser-known Romantic poets and critics of both genders and from many regions with invaluable introductory essays and rich contextual materials. ... It is surely to become the standard anthology in the field. I know I will be using it from now on. -Alexander Dick, University of British Columbia At last, an anthology that lets us explore in detail the remarkable depth and breadth of British poetry during the long Romantic period, and to do so from a genuinely interdisciplinary perspective that embraces the range of social, political, economic, scientific and cultural developments of that protean era, including issues of gender, race, class and religion. 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. Behrendt; University of Nebraska

Praise for The Age of Romanticism: ... I am very impressed.... A wealth of cultural and historical information is provided.... The introductions show subtle expertise.... Here, as in the other volumes, the editors bring English literary tradition to life. -- Wendy Nielsen, Montclair State University Comments on The Broadview Anthology of British Literature: ... sets a new standard by which all other anthologies of British Literature will now have to be measured. -- Graham Hammill, SUNY Buffalo With the publication of the Broadview Anthology of British Literature, teachers and students in survey and upper-level undergraduate courses have a compelling alternative to the established anthologies by Norton and Longman. ... This is a very real intellectual, as well as pedagogical, achievement. -- Nicholas Watson, Harvard University ... an excellent anthology. Good selections for my purposes (including some nice surprises), just the right level of annotation, affordable--and a hit with my students. I will definitely use it again. -- Ira Nadel, University of British Columbia
