Emily Brontë - The ​Complete Poems of Emily Jane Brontë
_Az ​1992-es, Gezari-féle kiadás fülszövege:_ This volume constitutes the first major edition of Emily Brontë's complete poems to appear for half a century. "A family in whom appears to run a certain instinct of song ... rising, in that of Ellis, into an inspiration," wrote the _Athenaeum_, reviewing _Poems_ (1846) by the "three brothers" Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell. Twenty-one of Emily Brontë's poems appeared in that volume, passionate songs of the spirit and of nature, and they were the only poems of hers to be published in her lifetime. For this new edition Janet Gezari has arranged the poems as nearly as possible in chronological order of composition, printing the published texts of the 1846 poems but otherwise taking the most recent manuscript versions. She also provides a scholarly introduction and extensive textual and contextual annotations to the poems.

John Keats - Selected ​Poetry
An ​'ignorant and unsettled pretender' to culture and a 'bantling' who has 'already learned to lisp sedition'. It was in these terms that the Tory _Blackwood's Magazine_ reviled Keats's poetry in 1818. This is not to imply that Keats (1795-1821) was, like Shelley, a political poet. Indeed, he is the 'one great English Romantic poet whose prime belief was in art and beautiy'. Love, art, sorrow, the natural world and the nature of the imagination are the preoccupying themes of his poetry. However, as John Barnard shows in this new selection, Keats's poetry is often indirectly critical of conventional political, religious and sexual beliefs. In his Introduction he discusses the focus of the anthology, which emphasizes Keats's place as a 'second-generation Romantic'. While Keats sought to embody in his work the 'dreams of art', he was, as John Barnard comments, also aware of the limitations of the claims of poetry and the imagination and remained deeply conscious of human suffering.

Percy Bysshe Shelley - John Keats - Shelley ​és Keats versei
A ​két költő az angol romantikusok második nagy nemzedékéhez tartozik. "Shelley a vers zeneiségében éri el a legmagasabb határt, Keats pedig festőiségben" - írja róluk Szerb Antal. Válogatásunk ezt próbálja ábrázolni neves műfordítók segítségével és azzal, hogy egy-egy vers több költő tolmácsolásában is megszólal.

Lord George Gordon Noël Byron - Selected ​Poetry
___ ​Byron was a legend in his own lifetime and the dominant influence on the Romantic movement. The most European of the English writers in an age of revolution, Byron was deeply involved in contemporary events, and his work was largely directed against what he called the `cant political, cant poetical, and cant moral' of the English and European worlds. His is, in every sense, a poetry of experience, and a Romantic emphasis on the personality of the poet is the hallmark of all his verse. This selection of the poetical works, chosen from the Oxford Authors critical edition, includes such masterpieces as _The_ _Corsair,_ _Manfred,_ _Bebbo,_ and _Don_ _Juan,_ with many other less familiar works and shorter lyrics.

John Keats - John ​Keats legszebb versei
John ​Keats (London, 1795. október 31. – Róma, 1821. február 23.), a nagy angol romantikus költők egyike, a "Szépség Költője." A világirodalom gyöngyszemei sorozatban a legszebb verseiből jelent meg egy válogatás.

Percy Bysshe Shelley - Shelley ​versei
Percy ​Bysshe Shelleynek (1792-1822), a nagy angol romantikus költőnek rövid élete a lázadás lobogásában égett el, botrányok sorozata volt. Az ateizmus szükségszerűségéről irt pamfletje miatt kizárták az oxfordi egyetemről, apjával összeveszve egy tizenhat éves lánnyal Skóciába szökött, ahol összeházasodtak. De házassága csődbe jutott, különváltak. Felesége öngyilkossága után egy korában hires anarchista filozófus lányát vette el. Bár addig is sokat utazott külföldön, az anyagi gondok, a társadalmi rossz hire és megromlott egészsége miatt 1818-ban végérvényesen Itáliába költözött. Költőileg hallatlanul termékeny évek következtek, olyan érett költemények születtek ekkor, mint az Óda a nyugati szélhez, az Egy mezei pacsirtához, A felhő vagy a Keats halálát sirató Adonais. Ám ahogy a világirodalom más nagy alkotóinál is bekövetkezik: e felfokozott alkotói láz a baljósan közeli véget jelentette: 1822 augusztusában Shelley "Ariel" nevű vitorlásával a Földközi-tengerbe fulladt. A költő, aki szenvedélyesen szeretett hajózni, nem tudott úszni. Mikor holttestét megtalálták, kabátja zsebében Keats egyik kötete volt. Shelley földi maradványait Byron máglyán égette el a tengerparton. S bár a valóságban korántsem volt a három költő kapcsolata olyan szoros, Shelley halála eképp mindörökre egybekapcsolta nevüket. Az irodalmi divatok változása persze megtépázta az ő dicsőségét is, ha nem is annyira, mint Byronét. Századunk gyanakodva szemléli a romantikus életműveket. De Shelley verseinek éteri lebegése, tiszta zeneisége, kompozicióinak rejtett filozófikuma, lázadásának kamaszos heve a világlira egyik örök, és örökké újraolvasandó értéke.

Walt Whitman - Selected ​Poems
Called ​by literary critic Mark van Doren "the most original and passionate American poet", Walt Whitman (1819-1892) created a body of verse uniquely his own - unconventional, lacking rhyme or meter, employing chanted lists of names and objects - but also powerful, sensual, oratorical and inspiring. His most famous work - Leaves of Grass - was a lifelong project Whitman compared to the building of a cathedral or the slow cumulative growth of a tree. During his lifetime the book (actually a series of books) went through nine editions, between 1855 and 1892. Today, it is considered a landmark of American literature. This volume contains 24 poems from Leaves of Grass, offering readers a generous sampling of Whitman's best and most representative poems.

Emily Brontë - Wuthering ​Heights
Is ​Mr. Heathcliff a man? If so, is he mad? And if not, is he a devil?' Heathcliff, an orphan, wild and unkempt, is taken in by Mr Earnshaw and raised as his son at Wuthering Heights on the bleak Yorkshire moors. He is drawn to Earnshaw's daughter Catherine, and as the pair grow up together they become bound by an intense and passionate love. But when Catherine's father dies, Heathcliff is condemned to servitude, and social disparity drives a wedge between them that will eventually become their downfall.

John Keats - John ​Keats versei
A ​szépség minden. Keats nyitja meg az angol esztétaköltők hosszú sorát, és ő a legnagyobb mindannyiuk közt. A szépségen mélyebb és átfogóbb valamit ért, mint a többiek. Bár ő a legkevésbé elvont a nagy romantikusok közül, az ő filozófiája mond mégis legtöbbet. Mert ő is filozófus költő a maga módján, a szépség metafizikai helyét keresi. Beauty is truth, truth beauty - that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know. „A szépség igazság, az igazság szépség, ez minden, amit tudtok e földön és amit kell tudnotok..." Csak a szépség nyit utat, hogy megismerjük a megismerésre egyedül érdemes igazságot, azt az igazságot, amely nem foglalható erkölcsi tanulságokba, mint ahogy Wordsworth tette, nem foglalható egyáltalán szavakba, csak a belső szemlélet előtt nyílik meg és kibékít a sorssal, fullasztó lelkesedéssel vagy őszies, érett boldogsággal tölt el. Szerb Antal
