The Romantics
This new series of eight hardback poetry books draws inspiration from the classic designs of Josiah Wedgwood (who had strong links to the poets from the Romantic period) and references the historical origins of the poems themselves. Inside each volume is a set of glorious bespoke endpapers, created especially to point towards the historical technique of marbling.
The eight poets included are Byron, Clare, Coleridge, Wordsworth, Shelley, Blake, Burns and Keats.
