Description
The Graveyard School: An Anthology brings together the works of thirty-three authors who wrote gloomy meditations on mortality, often composed in churchyards, in 18th-century England. This collection provides a broad and comprehensive examination of the phenomenon of Graveyard poetry, featuring seminal works and lesser-known poems by authors such as Robert Blair, Thomas Parnell, and Edward Young. Included in this volume are poems by authors not normally associated with the Graveyard School, such as Alexander Pope and Washington Irving, as well as female poets like Susanna Blamire and Charlotte Smith. Edited by Prof. Jack G. Voller, this anthology offers a unique insight into the darker side of literature, making it a valuable resource for scholars and students of 18th-century and Gothic literature. With extensive annotations throughout, this collection is a valuable addition to any library or collection of poetry.
