 A little bit disappointing January 26, 2005
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
After the other rave review from the undergraduate above, I did think this book would be somewhat better than it seems. Unfortunately, it does not go into any depth with the poetry or explain the fundamentals of the romantic era.
 Stunningly comprehensive survey of Romanticism for any level June 24, 2004
6 out of 8 found this review helpful
I'm an English undergraduate and although this book says its aimed at A-Level it is perfect for Uni students too. It gives a comprehensive survey of the Romantic period - religious, political, historical and social contexts, and it warns the reader to be wary about the broadness of the term Romanticism, its limitations, and how it ought to be applied. It includes key extracts from Romantic litearture and approaches these with the view to assisting the interpretation of other texts. It deals with all angles - language, criticism and femininsm, and also has a good section on Blake and is modern enough to include female writers e.g. Mary Wollstonecraft, which earlier books on Romanticism ignore. The best thing about it is it's really readable, the language is easy to understand and has a practical and varied layout, including bullet points and suggested exercises too. It also deals with loads of other critics views on Romanticism which gives some useful directions for further reading, whilst giving an idea of their main points (with quotes) if you haven't got time for that. This is a must for any student studying any aspect or author in the Romantic era, particularly as context is particularly vital to an understanding of the texts in this age.
