This is a great DVD that can be used by any educator teaching Romanticism. In addition, it is a DVD that will also be valued and appreciated by lovers of romantic poetry. The film identifies all the main aspects of romantic poetry, places it within a historical/social context and relies on expert opinion to create an authoritative documentary. The fabulous five (Coleridge, Wordsworth, Byron, Keats and Shelley) are each given their own section and their most famous works are appraised. This DVD is a gem!!
