Amazon.com Audiobook Review
The Romantic movement is considered by many to be the zenith of English poetry. With its roots in a reaction against ordered neoclassicism, Romantic poetry's emphasis on nature, both real and fantastic, still resonates today. This collection combines great voices with great poets, including Glenda Jackson reading Wordsworth's "Lines Written in Early Spring," Stephen Fry reading Keats's "To Autumn," and a marvelous archival recording of Orson Welles reading Byron's "So We'll Go No More a-Roving." Blake, Coleridge, and Shelley are also well represented, with "Kubla Khan," "Ode to the West Wind," and "The Tiger," among others. Fans of Blake's mysticism, Wordsworth's love of nature, Keats's sensual melancholy, or simply beautiful poetry will enjoy this wonderful collection. Listen to Michael Tucker read William Blake's "Garden of Love." Visit our audio help page for more information. (Running time: 1.5 hours, 1 cassette) --C.B. Delaney
