Meet the rebellious young poets who brought about a literary revolution
Rock stars may think they invented sex, drugs, and rock and roll, but the Romantic poets truly created the mold.
In the early 1800s, poetry could land a person in jail. Those who tried to change the world through their poems risked notoriety--or courted it. Among the most subversive were a group of young writers known as the Romantics: Lord Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Samuel Taylor Cole-ridge, William Wordsworth, and John Keats. These rebels believed poetry should express strong feelings in ordinary language, and their words changed literature forever.
Wildly Romantic is a smart, sexy, and fascinating look at these original bad boys--and girls.

Wildly Romantic: The English Romantic Poets: The Mad, the Bad, and the Dangerous
A deeply absorbing read about a deeply fascinating group of people. Being a relatively short book to cover the lives of so many major poets, there's obviously some picking and choosing of what to cover. Andronik chose to focus on the scandals, which certainly has its place in biography, aside from being interesting. Maybe some deeper analysis of their works would have been welcome, but I didn't come here for literary analysis, and I never expected it. If that's your expectation, you'll be disappointed. But if you just want some incredibly juicy, two-century-old gossip, this is the book for you.
