Product Description

Product Description
Offering over one thousand years of verse from the mediaeval period to the present, The Norton Anthology of Poetry is the classroom standard for the study of poetry in English. The fifth edition retains the flexibility and breadth of selection that have defined this classic anthology, while an improved and expanded editorial apparatus makes it an even more useful teaching tool. The fifth edition includes 1,828 poems (191 new) and 334 poets (17 new). No other poetry anthology offers such abundance, which is why students hold on to The Norton Anthology of Poetry long after the course ends-it is their poetry reference book for life.

About the Author
MARGARET FERGUSON is a professor of English and comparative literature at the University of California-Davis. MARY JO SALTER is the Emily Dickinson Senior Lecturer in the Humanities at Mount Holyoke College. JON STALLWORTHY is a professor of English literature emeritus at Oxford University.

3.0 out of 5 stars Norton, 4 April 2004
This review is from: The Norton Anthology of Poetry (Paperback)
Norton series are always great for students, have lots of info! This is a great book for someone studying poetry, has a good collections of poems from the main poets! Has a few from more modern poets and has been revised to include more from women and others that have before been the minority!

A good collection for a back ground on poetry, though not the best for carrying round, as is huge!!

Hannah.

5.0 out of 5 stars A University Text That Can Be Enjoyed By Anyone, 29 Sep 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Norton Anthology of Poetry (Paperback)
This book may look duanting at first sight but don't be put off! Even if you never read poetry this book has something for you. From Gilbert and Sullivan extracts, try and read those out loud, to 'The Owl and the Pussycat' this book isn't just ironic prose for english students with to much time on their hands. Of course there are extensive sections for the greats; Chuacer, Milton, Shakespeare, Tennyson, i think you've got the point. You'll also discover poets you've never heard of, Louis MacNiece is one of mine, just by opening up at a random page, more fun than doing it with the bible. And if that isn't enough this is a big book on your shelf which makes people think you are clever as hell, or maybe just a ponce. So buy this book and let your friends decide which one you are.

3.0 out of 5 stars Poetic licence, 15 Nov 2006
like in life, good but flawed.
As a collection it is exceptional, with such a variety of some poets better work, however, the cumbersome ham-handed indexing at the begining leaves something to be desired. it is indexed in the order of poets date of birth, of course suggesting anyone who reads or has to study the books contence know the date of every single poets birth. leading of course to many fun hours of frustration trying to find a single poem by a poet in the very centre of the book.
the up side is in the back the poets are listed in rank of surname first, and as well as some basics on the poets lives there is a page reference telling you where the poets are in the book.
