Romanticism Art

i was under the impression i had purchased an ART HISTORY book, however this was a poetry book. my mistake, but its okay. it came in relatively good condition, and i don't see much markings inside the book which is a plus. very large, full of information.

Yay for old editions!

I bought this for a class when the teacher wanted us to spend $60+ on the newest edition. I bought this for about $5 and it had all of the same stuff in it. This anthology is well put together and easy to use. A great purchase!
