londonfog86's review against another edition
2.0
The book is well thought out, as you would expect from a Norton Anthology. I just really do not like the romantics outside of the occasional Keats or Austen (if you categorize her as Romantic, which I don't).

Uni book.
Technically I am still using it this semester, but I've finished all of my required reading in it so I'm putting it on my 'read' shelf. It is an incredible anthology (no surprise there) and it holds a wide variety of writers from the Romantic Period. Norton focus on some of the lesser known writers, not just the big six, which gives a wider knowledge of the era.

Bought and read for English Literary History class. There's a lot of great classics in there, but I'm not really into very old classics..
