One of the most popular areas of audiobooks -- spoken poetic form -- evokes emotions and sensations by bringing the voice of the poet to life in an appropriately intimate way, directly to the ear and mind of the listener.This anthology contains the works of some of the greatest poets of the Romantic Age, including Blake, Wordsworth, Shelley, Coleridge, Keats, Byron and Clare.

I can hardly contain my enthusiasm at finding this title. The poets they chose for this collection couldn't have been more satisfying. The other reason I got it was that I had just discovered actor, Michael Sheen, who narrates. He has a truly, magnificent voice that gives me chills. As someone who has directed voice talent, and devours poetry, I can tell you that he is a very skilled reader. This title is good for people who are poetry snobs as well as people who haven't given classic poetry a real chance. Unfortunately, it is out-of-print, so I had to go through the arduous task of downloading it. This means that it comes without ANY information. I found that very frustrating. I wish that Naxos would re-release it and give Michael Sheen a fat contract to narrate at least 5 more of these!

I'm really enjoying this. The poetry selection is great, all by the big names in early 19th century English poetry. Michael Sheen (who played Tony Blair in "The Queen") proves to be a great reader. I don't know if he personally selected the poems, but he really seems to connect with them.

Great Poets the Romantic Age (Poetry)is a fine collection of poets for the classroom that is learning about poetry and may need an added help with reading for understanding.

This DVD is a wonderful purchase. Michael Sheen does a great job reading the poems and the music is also inspirational.
