4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent sampling of poetry and prose,
By Michelle Gold (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Oxford Anthology of English Literature: Volume IV: Romantic Poetry and Prose (Pt.4) (Paperback)
If you like William Blake you're in for a treat. There are also poems and prose from the greats such as Milton, The Four Zoas, Milton, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Keats, Shelley, and Byron. It's a lovely selection.
