I have read and referred to this book over many years. An excellent study of the British Romantics. It does not go into the weeds as much as some of Bloom’s studies — perhaps because he wrote this early in his career. This one is plainer, straightforward, with good analyses. For an understanding of William Blake, this book is as good as any study written, in my opinion.

Possibly Bloom's masterpiece, this is the ultimate study of the English Romantics. Bloom's earliest books are his most essential, and this is very likely the best of these. Beautiful analysis throughout. Possibly Bloom's masterpiece, this is the ultimate study of the English Romantics.

Bloom's prose is at its very best here. If you haven't read any Bloom yet, I highly recommend you start here. His chapter on Percy Shelley alone is beautiful -- some of the clearest explication I've ever encountered. The English Romantics owe Harold Bloom a huge debt for preserving their memory in America.

(This book lives at Casa Minierva, where I read it for a few minutes each week as I wait for my food. It's going to be on my "currently reading" list for a looong time.)

Brilliantly written, argued, before the whole Bloomian myth developed.
