'The Times Book of English Verse' is a comprehensive survey of the best poetry written in English, ranging across seven centuries from Chaucer to Heaney, and including longer poems - such as Paradise Lost and The Prelude - in their entirety.
Seven centuries of English Verse, attractively laid out and lightly annotated: from anonymous medieval lyrics to the finest contemporary poets, and also embracing ballads, dialect poems and important translations. Compiled by one of Britain leading anthologists, this is the poetry collection for all the family.
