The ten poets featured in this issue are Mary Robinson, Letitia Landon, John Clare, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Blake, Sir Walter Scott, Percy Bysshe Shelley, William Wordsworth, John Keats and Lord Byron. Their poetry is seen as a reaction to ‘Age of Enlightenment’ with its philosophy of order and rationalism by stressing the importance of expressing real, personal feelings.
This cover celebrates the work of Mary Robinson, feminist, author and poetess with eight anthologies to her credit. Her image is framed by a delicate 22ct gold-blocked design and the cover bears a Bristol pictorial handstamp. Numbered limited edition of 500.
