Summary
This anthology is meant to combine poems long acknowledged as great with others that are less well known, and may not be as great, but are at least interesting or typical of the movement we call “Romanticism.” It is not “my hundred favorite Romantic poems” but something more like “fifty of my favorites plus another fifty that deserve a close look.” I won’t say which poems are in which group, but my own standards do not deviate much from the common consensus of poetry readers for over a century. Readers will find poems they already know and love; they will find others, I hope, that they will enjoy meeting. The majority of them are in their original English; somewhat over a third are translated from German, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian, or Polish. There are fifty-five poets in all.
