Great selection and readings but the titles and poets were not named so a lot of the time I didn't know who I was listening to.

Great, but...

The problem with this piece is two-fold. (a) the sound quality is uneven and (b) the poems are read without including the Title or Author. So, unless you already know the material, you're on your own.

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

Nothing is identified in this audiobook. No titles, no authors, no readers.

What could the authors have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

It needs a table of contents, and the titles and speakers should be identified.

How could the performance have been better?

The sound quality is very uneven, sometimes bad.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Romantic Poets?

That is hard to say, since no poems or titles are given.

very poor

Good readers (unmentioned), uneven sound quality. No poets’ names, no poems’ titles. Sloppy packaging for great content.

Disappointing

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
There are a lot of poems, which made it particularly frustrating that there were no titles or authors mentioned. The readers gave some good dramatic flourishes but there were times that I could not hear or understand the words to the point where I lost the narrative.

One long untitled series of poems
