Description
A comprehensive collection of English poetry spanning over seven centuries, The Oxford Book of English Verse brings together a vast array of poems and poets, introducing readers to new voices and perspectives. This revised selection, created by Christopher Ricks, builds upon the anthology's rich history, which began in 1900 with Arthur Quiller-Couch and was updated in 1972 by Helen Gardner. The result is a fresh and expansive collection, featuring poets from all ages, including notable figures such as Philip Larkin and Samuel Beckett, as well as lesser-known writers from the British Isles and America. The anthology showcases a wide range of poetic forms, from traditional ballads and sonnets to dramatic verse and translations, offering a rich and diverse reading experience.
