The Romantics - Volume 1

This audiobook explores the Romanticism movement in philosophy and the arts, which emerged in the late 18th century amidst significant political upheaval. Highlighting a shift from Enlightenment values, it emphasizes personal, emotional, and nature-inspired expressions in poetry. While the focus is on the renowned "Big Six" Romantic poets—Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Keats, Shelley, and Byron—it also brings attention to often-overlooked women poets like Mary Shelley and Charlotte Smith. Readers include Richard Mitchley and Ghizela Rowe, presenting a comprehensive view of this transformative literary era.
