Product Description

The fourth edition of this standard work contains 1800 poems by 300 poets, with 600 poems and 100 poets newly included. The anthology offers more poetry by women (40 new poets), with special attention to early women poets. The book also includes a greater diversity of American poetry, with double the number of poems by African American, Hispanic, native American and Asian American poets. There are 26 new poets representing the Commonwealth literature tradition: now included are more than 37 poets from Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, the Caribbean, South Africa and India. A reconsideration of many classic poets, from Shakespeare and Bradstreet to Larkin and Rich has been added in this edition, together with a wider representation of the beginnings of poetry in English: the Anglo-Saxon "Caedmon's Hymn" and selections from "Beowulf", as well as Middle English lyrics, popular riddles, romance, allegory, and the verse tales of Chaucer and Langland, are now included. The collection also includes short biographical sketches and a system of annotation.

3.0 out of 5 stars Norton, 4 April 2004

By	Hannah Inglis - See all my reviews

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 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.
