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.
"Criticism" is chronologically keyed to Byron's poetry and reprints
both classic and recent examinations of Byron's writing and life,
including assessments by Anne Barton, Donald H. Reiman, Jane
Stabler, Jerome J. McGann, Susan J. Wolfson, and James Chandler.
A Biographical Register, Chronology, Selected Bibliography, and
Index of Poem Titles and First Lines are also included.
One of Lord Byron's most enduring and powerful works, Childe
Harold's Pilgrimage has remained in the public conscience and
continues to fascinate and inspire people even today.

Childe Harold's Pilgrimage (1812-1818) is a book length poem by
British Romantic Lord Byron. Published in cantos, the narrative
poem is arranged in four parts, each following the journey of
Harold, a character based on Byron himself. Childe Harold's
Pilgrimage established Byron's reputation as a leading poet of his
era, laying the foundation for many of the elements of Romantic
poetry-melancholy, sublime and beautiful landscapes, a wandering
hero-that would inspire generations of writers, artists, and
musicians to come. Harold, a young and deeply unsatisfied man,
wanders across a Europe divided by war. In Spain and Portugal, he
observes the horrible aftermath of French occupation. While in
Greece, though inspired by its classical architecture and immense
beauty, he is overcome with grief by the daily realities of life
under the control of the Ottoman Empire. Harold makes his way to
Belgium, where he visits the battlefield at Waterloo before
departing for Switzerland by way of the Rhine. Toward the end of
his pilgrimage, Harold travels from Venice throughout Italy,
observing its natural wonders and musing on its storied history.
Childe Harold's Pilgrimage-part fictional narrative, part
autobiography-is a moving map of a young man's mind and a
continent's historical experience. It is both a record of
Romanticism's influence on literature and psychology and a
testament to the profound influence of trauma and conflict on the
individuals and cultures of nineteenth century Europe. With a
beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript,
this edition of Lord Byron's Childe Harold's Pilgrimage is a
classic of English literature and Romanticism reimagined for modern
readers.

Don Juan is a satirical poem inspired by the Spanish libertine,
who's known for his romantic trysts, frequent adventures and
salacious activities throughout the land. George Gordon reinvents
the character, by subverting expectations and changing the
narrative. The character of Don Juan has an infamous legacy tied to
his relations with women. According to Gordon, his exploits began
as a teenager when he engaged in an extramarital affair with a
23-year-old woman. When the pair are discovered, Juan is exiled and
forced to travel abroad. This leads to many adventures, where he
finds himself in one peculiar situation after another. Despite the
obstacles, Juan is never too far from a woman's love and affection.
With Don Juan, George Gordon delivers a vibrant and entertaining
take on a literary classic. He infuses humor into a series of
hapless tales taking the reader on a nonstop adventure. It's an
enduring legend that's been adapted and reimagined for hundreds of
years. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset
manuscript, this edition of Don Juan is both modern and readable.
