"In the third edition of his groundbreaking Romanticism: An
Anthology, Duncan Wu has made a very good text even better. For
those interested in stirring the familiar ingredients (Blake to
Byron) back into the rich soup of the times in which they dwelt,
this anthology offers the best opportunity. Wu gives us the texts
of familiar poems made strange--sometimes by being presented in
their first printed version, sometimes by the juxtaposition implied
by Wu's canny practice of the anthologizer's art."

--David Latane, Virginia Commonwealth University

"The Wu anthology, even more magnificent and indispensable
in its Third Edition, is not simply the most useful or the most
learned anthology of English Romantic poetry and thought; it is the
most exciting. The flames of that excitement are fed by generous
cords of minor poets and major essayists, carefully selected,
intelligently bundled. But even the old-growth timber of the major
poets burns with a brighter flame by being most provocatively
introduced, brilliantly edited (especially Blake), and stacked
against the kindling of the lesser lyricists. The combination of
earlier and revised versions of the same poem is dazzlingly
illuminating. One might say of Wu's Romanticism: An Anthology, in
comparison to any other collection, what Wu himself says in
introducing the early use of the term "Romanticism:
"Romanticism was 'organic' and 'plastic,' as against the
'mechanical' tendencies of Classicism." Perhaps the anthology
itself cannot keep growing in subsequent editions without becoming
unwieldy; but the enthusiasm it generates can grow without bounds
and will prove both "organic"--well rooted in accurate,
historically placed texts--and "plastic," ever subject to
imaginative reshaping."

--Leslie Brisman, Yale University

"The fourth edition of Duncan Wu's Romanticism: An
Anthology offers the perfect combination of breadth and
depth. It contains a superb selection of literary texts with
thought-provoking annotations and contextual materials that help
bring the Romantic era to life."

--Kim Wheatley, College of William and Mary

"No one familiar with Duncan Wu's impressive body of
Romantic period scholarship and criticism will be surprised at the
high quality of Romanticism: An Anthology. I have chosen it
for my "British Romantic Poetry" as this text is superior to any
other available in its combination of essential canonical poetry
with an astute selection of other literature, including extensive
representation of women writers."

--Paul Betz, Georgetown University
