Editorial reviews

A stunning introduction to six Romantic poets: Keats, Tennyson, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Morris and Crabbe. Each narrative poem is long enough to reveal the poet's style and to distinguish itself from that of the others. The three narrators are beautifully cast. With a mesmerizing voice, Samuel West is truly brilliant, giving evocative, powerful narrations.

Romantic realism isn’t an oxymoron

Extremely well read and produced. Fascinating insight into another time, not really so different from our own.
