Feelings come alive through the words of the Romantic poets. Romanticism
gained traction in the late 1700s as writers moved away from the
intellectualism of the Enlightenment and toward more emotional and natural
themes. The major works of the movement’s six most famous poets—William
Wordsworth, George Gordon Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Samuel Taylor
Coleridge, John Keats, and William Blake—are represented in this handsome
Word Cloud Classics volume, The Romantic Poets. One of the largest and most
influential artistic movements in history, Romanticism valued intuition and
pastoralism, and its themes are well represented in the verse of its stars.
