By: Stanley Appelbaum

Encompassing a broad range of subjects, styles, and moods, English poetry of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries is generally classified under the term 'Romantic,' suggesting an emphasis on imagination and individual experience, as well as a preoccupation with such theme as nature, death, and the supernatural.
This volume contains a rich selection of poems by England's six greatest poets: William Blake (24 poems, including 'The Tyger' and 'Auguries of Innocence'), William Wordsworth (27 poems, including 'Ode: Intimations of Immortality' and 'I wandered lonely as a cloud'), Samuel Taylor Coleridge (10 poems, including 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner' and 'Kubla Khan'), Lord Byron (16 poems, including 'The Prisoner of Chillon' and selections from Don Juan and Childe Harold's Pilgrimage), Percy Bysshe Shelley (24 poems, including 'Ode to the West Wind' and 'Adonis'), John Keats (22 poems, including all the great odes, 'Isabella,' and 'The Eve of St. Agnes').
For this edition, Stanley Appelbaum has provided a concise Introduction to the Romantic period and brief commentaries on the poets represented. The result is a carefully selected anthology that will be welcomed by lovers of poetry, students, and teachers alike.

Product Review

The Assessment and Qualifications Alliance (the AQA) has produced Anthologies for GCSE English and English Literature studied in English schools. This follows on from AQA's predecessor organisations; Northern Examinations and Assessment Board (NEAB) and Southern Examining Group (SEG).

2004 Anthology[edit]

The first AQA Anthology was a collection of poems and short texts. The anthology was split into several sections covering poems from other cultures, the poetry of Seamus Heaney,^[1]Gillian Clarke, Carol Ann Duffy and Simon Armitage, and a bank of pre-1914 poems. There was also a section of prose pieces, which could have been studied in schools which had chosen not to study a separate set text.

English: Poems from Other Cultures[edit]

GCSE English students studied all of the poems in either cluster and answered a question on them in Section A of Paper 2. In 2005, Andrew Cunningham, an English teacher at Charterhouse School complained in the Telegraph that the inclusion of the poems represented an 'obsession with multi-culturalism'.^[2]

2008 Anthology[edit]

In 2008 the Anthology was reissued without 'Education for Leisure' following complaints about its reference to knives and concerns about rising levels of knife crime in schools.^[3] In the new Anthology the poem was replaced with a 'This page is left intentionally blank' notice. After removing 'Education for Leisure' from the anthology the exam board was accused of censorship.^[4]

The anthology includes poems under the heading 'Moon on the Tides' and prose under the heading 'Sunlight on the Grass'.^[5] Some of the poems are by authors of poems in the first anthology such as Agard and Armitage.
