The Tyger... I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud... Ode to the West Wind... The Rime of the Ancient Mariner... Ode to a Nightingale... We'll go no more a-roving... The Peasant Poet
'All good poetry' wrote Wordsworth, 'is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings' and this was to be one of the hallmarks of the Romantic Poets.
With a dynamic spirit, these great English poets made a conscious return to nostalgia and spiritual depth. Each chose a different path, but they are united in a love of moods, impressions, scenes, stories, sights and sounds. In this collection of more than 40 poems are some of the finest and most memorable works in the English language.

"I wish Mr. Trollope would go on writing Framley Parsonage for ever.
I don't see any reason why it should ever come to an end, and everyone I know is always
dreading the last number."--Author Elizabeth Gaskell to George Smith, publisher of the
Cornhill, March 1, 1860
Mark Robarts, a young vicar, is newly arrived in the village of Framley. With ambitions to
further his career, he seeks connections in the county's high society. He is soon preyed
upon by a local member of parliament to guarantee a substantial loan, which Mark in a
moment of weakness agrees to, even though he knows the man is a notorious debtor,
and which brings him to the brink of ruin.
Meanwhile, Mark's sister, Lucy, is deeply in love with Lord Lufton, the son of the lofty Lady
Lufton. Lord Lufton has proposed, but Lady Lufton is against the marriage, preferring that
her son choose the coldly beautiful Griselda Grantly.
The novel will conclude with four happy marriages, including one involving Doctor Thorne,
the hero of the preceding book in the Chronicles of Barsetshire series.
