Great Poets of the Romantic Age

De: William Blake, William Wordsworth, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, John Keats, Lord Byron, John Clare

Narrado por: Michael Sheen

"The Tyger"… "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud"…"Ode to the West Wind"…"The Rime of the Ancient Mariner"…"Ode to a Nightingale"…"We’ll go no more a-roving"…"The Peasant Poet"

‘All good poetry,’ wrote Wordsworth, ‘is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings’ and this was to be one of the hallmarks of the Romantic poets.

With a dynamic spirit, these great English poets made a conscious return to nostalgia and spiritual depth. Each chose a different path, but they are united in a love of moods, impressions, scenes, stories, sights and sounds. In this collection of more than forty poems are some of the finest and most memorable works in the English language.

Amaizing performanxe! Byron’s Don Juan is remarkable

I love this! The selection and it has an amaizing perfomance. I frecuently listen to it, the best of the Romantics

Definitely Worthwhile!!

I will listen to it again and again with great pleasure. It is an excellently performed canonical selection.

Spectacular Narration

I loved the acting and the actual narration done by true artists. You will love this. It leaves you craving more. Bravo! Bravo!

Superb performances

I liked Blake, Wordsworth, Byron and Coleridge best. Don Juan by Byron is genius. A terrific female voice which sounded like another performer. Love listening to poetry. The musical element in so many poems was so strong and you hear it! A great education. I listened several times and will listen again.

7.0/10– Byron and Coleridge top notch, the rest flop

Skip to Byron and Rime of the Ancient Mariner for the magic. The rest are decent to slow, repetitive.
