Rivers were the arteries of our first civilizations – the Tigris and Euphrates of Mesopotamia, India’s Ganges, Egypt’s Nile, the Yellow River of China – and have nourished modern cities from London to New York, so it is natural that poets have for centuries drawn essential meanings and metaphors from their endless currents. English poets from Shakespeare and Dryden, Wordsworth and Byron to Ted Hughes, John Betjeman and Alice Oswald; Irish poets – Eavan Boland, Seamus Heaney, Paul Muldoon, to name but a few; Scottish and Welsh poets from Henry Vaughan and Robert Louis Stevenson to Robin Robertson and Gillian Clarke.
No generation of poets has felt more powerfully and enduringly than the Romantics of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. In this indispensable volume, Sir Jonathan Bate – prizewinning biographer of Wordsworth, Keats and John Clare – brings together the most loved poems of the age, together with many forgotten gems. Alongside classics such as Coleridge’s ‘Kubla Khan’ and ‘Frost at Midnight’, the odes of Keats and generous selections from Wordsworth’s ‘Lyrical Ballads’ and ‘The Prelude,’ the reader will discover the wit of Byron, the wildness of Blake, the passion of Shelley, a wealth of nature poems by Clare, and the distinctive voices of women Romantics such as Charlotte Smith, Mary Robinson, Felicia Hemans, Dorothy Wordsworth and Letitia Landon.
