User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I got this book, on kindle, because I needed it for class. However when I found out I needed it, it was the day the class started. (The professor had accidentally left it off of the course listing, and my classes are online and in another state.) Well, I was relieved to find it for download.The only complaint I have is that it doesn’t use the page numbers like a regular book and other kindle book utilizes when there is a print book of the exact same brand.

⭐It has already been elevated to beloved in my book collection. But if you are planning on writing about the poems the hard copy is easier to determine line numbers and breaks.

⭐Did not have some collected works that are essential to Romanticism. Not a bad collection, but I wouldn’t use it in a graduate level class; however, if you can get it for a good price, it is something to have if you enjoy literature.

⭐The product was described as a used book with writing in it (as I expect), but the writing severely interferes with the ability to read certain poems in the textbook. I would suggest, buying this elsewhere.

⭐This books is great. It meets all my expectations and really helps break down any foggy material in the literature of the Romantics.

⭐Its an anthology, so its a collection! Lovely selections.

⭐Contains all of *Lyrical Ballads* and all of Charlotte Smith’s *Elegiac Sonnets*. Beautiful text. Parallel texts of Ancient Mariner and other substantively revised works. Excellent choice for undergraduate or graduate classes.

⭐4 stars refers to the Kindle version because of the glitches in the handling of notes – Often the text of the note brought up in the panel runs on into subsequently numbered unrelated notes. The printed version is to be preferred, unless you need the portability of a version on your Kindle.

⭐This book is huge and such a chore to carry arround uni. However, it is perfect for anyone studying the Romantics as the poems are all in full and the footnotes provide lots of useful info. I would suggest that the physical edition far surpasses the Kindle edition and so is worth the extra weight.

⭐Great

⭐Good for studying.

⭐This anthology really does have every piece of Romantic work you could hope for. In my opinion, it’s worth the money.
