The unique and explosive genius of William Blake (1757–1827) is represented in this volume by the Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience, plus extensive selections from the Prophetic Books in which Blake develops his private mythology. In addition there are many short poems unpublished in his lifetime and extracts from his prose writings.

A leader of the twentieth-century Irish nationalist movement, who eventually became one of the Free State’s first senators, William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) is also the greatest poet that Ireland has yet produced.

These are the poems which took Europe by storm in the early nineteenth century and made Lord Byron (1788–1824) the most celebrated man of his time. The volume includes a selection from the early lyrics and epigrams, several verse letters, and substantial extracts from Byron’s comic masterpiece Don Juan in which he satirizes his own reputation as an amorist.
