With an Introduction by Catherine Kay, Education Officer at The Wordsworth Trust, Ten Poems by The Romantics covers a lot of ground in a short space (not quite William Blake’s “a world in a grain of sand” but something along those lines). The Romantics shared a passionate belief in the transforming power of the imagination and a related faith in the human spirit. The poems in this selection introduce the reader to the ideas and themes of Romantic poetry, and also to its beauty and music.
