This beautifully illustrated book focuses on the work of four of the most famous Romantic poets, William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, John Keats and John Clare, and reveals how their appreciation of the natural world was highly subjective, changing according to the writer's purpose, mood and state of mind.
