Young Romantics tells the story of the interlinked lives of the young English Romantic poets from an entirely fresh perspective--celebrating their extreme youth and outsize yearning for friendship as well as their individuality and political radicalism. The book focuses on the network of writers and readers who gathered around Percy Bysshe Shelley and the campaigning journalist Leigh Hunt. They included Lord Byron, John Keats, and Mary Shelley, as well as a host of fascinating lesser-known figures: Mary Shelley's stepsister and Byron's mistress, Claire Clairmont; Hunt's botanist sister-in-law, Elizabeth Kent; the musician Vincent Novello; the painters Benjamin Haydon and Joseph Severn; and writers such as Charles and Mary Lamb, Thomas Love Peacock, and William Hazlitt. They were characterized by talent, idealism, and youthful ardor, and these qualities shaped and informed their politically oppositional stances. "In firm, clear, often elegant prose, Daisy Hay] narrates the main events in the lives of her subjects from 1813, when they began to coalesce around Hunt in London, till 1822" (Ben Downing, The New York Times Book Review).

Young Romantics is an enthralling tale of love, betrayal, sacrifice, and friendship played out against a backdrop of political turbulence and intense literary creativity. "Hay's account of the passionate and messy lives of her Romantics is vivid, picturesque, and finely told" (Richard Eder, The Boston Globe).

The best electric opener by far!
Color: Stainless Steel, Size: 4-in-1
This is the 3rd or 4th opener I've purchased in the last two years. This is by far the best! Top reasons this is the best: #1: it has opened every single bottle I've tried - even ones the other struggled with #2: press the button and let go; you don't have to hold the stupid button in (great for folks with bad thumbs) #3: I like the light #4: Battery level indicator and battery life ALL THIS translates to great value, ease of use, great cork removal The only thing I didn't like is that there is no stand per se (it rests on the foil cutter). Easily solved with several stands from the other inferior openers

Highly recommended for wine lovers☝️
Color: Stainless Steel, Size: 4-in-1, Color: Stainless Steel, Size: 4-in-1
I recently purchased an electric wine opener, and it has completely transformed my wine-drinking experience. This sleek gadget effortlessly uncorks bottles with just the push of a button, making it perfect for gatherings or a cozy night in. The design is user-friendly, and the built-in LED light helps guide the process. I particularly appreciate how it works on various cork types without damaging them. The battery life is impressive; I can open several bottles on a single charge. Cleanup is a breeze, as the device is easy to store and doesn’t require any additional tools. Overall, I highly recommend an electric wine opener for anyone looking to enhance their wine experience with minimal effort. It’s a game-changer!
