Description
Eighteenth-Century Poetry An Annotated Anthology presents a rich and diverse selection of English poetry from 1700 to 1800. This authoritative anthology features balanced coverage of both well-known poets, such as Finch, Swift, Pope, Montagu, Johnson, Gray, Burns, and Cowper, alongside less familiar material. The expanded third edition includes 46 new poems, with additional texts by women poets, as well as four new poets: Mary Barber, Mehetabel Wright, Anna Seward, and Mary Robinson. This collection also features poems reflecting new ecological approaches to 18th-century literature and those on the art of writing. With generous head notes, full foot-of-page annotations, an expanded thematic index, and a visually appealing text design, this anthology is accessible and user-friendly for researchers and students alike. This revised edition offers a comprehensive overview of English poetry from the eighteenth century, providing a wealth of material for study and research.
