About this audiobook
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.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great introductory listen to some of the best known poems of the era. Liner notes include brief bios of the poets. Michael Sheen's voice is a perfect match for the subject material.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Only because I haven't read the whole thing yet. Although it is cliche, I can read The Tiger over and over again. Great Poem, interesting man.
