Description

This comprehensive anthology brings together six centuries of great British and American poetry, offering readers a wealth of poetic achievement in a single volume. Harold Bloom's introduction, "The Art of Reading Poetry," provides a critical framework for understanding the literary achievement he loves, while headnotes by Bloom offer insight into the poets and their work.

Featuring vital selections from major poets, as well as introductory essays and notes, this book provides readers with a rich and varied collection of poetry. With its extensive range of material, it offers something for everyone who wants to explore the pleasures of a sublime art.

Considered by many to be Bloom's final meditation on the subject, this anthology is a valuable resource for anyone interested in poetry and its many forms. With its broad scope and thoughtful approach, it is an ideal choice for readers looking to deepen their understanding of the English language.
