Description
This two-volume anthology celebrates four centuries of English poetry, from the Elizabethan era to the present day. Spanning poets from Blake to Heaney, it offers an excellent portrayal of eighteenth to twentieth century verse.
Within these pages, you'll find a rich tapestry of poetry written in Britain and Ireland, featuring both well-known names and lesser-known poets who have made significant contributions to their respective eras. The collection covers Romantic poets such as Wordsworth, Byron, Shelley, and Keats, as well as notable figures from the nineteenth century like Tennyson, Browning, and Lewis Carroll.
Representing the twentieth-century poets are names like Graves, Betjeman, Larking, Hughes, and Heaney, each bringing their unique voice to this extensive anthology. With its generous survey of verse, this collection provides a valuable insight into the depth, diversity, and energy of poetry written in Britain and Ireland.
