Description: |
Palgrave's Golden Treasury of the Best Songs and Lyrical Poems in the English Language is probably the most famous poetry anthology ever compiled.This sixth edition, faithful to the spirit of the original, includes poems from the last thirty years, along with all of the material from previous editions. Fleur Adcock, Tony Harrison, Seamus Heaney, Peter Porter, and Anne Stevenson are among the many names to figure in the book for the first time. |
Synopsis: |
Originally published in 1861, Palgrave's Golden Treasury quickly established itself as the most popular selection of English poems. Today it stands as a testament to the richness of our finest native poetic writing from Spenser, Shakespeare, and Wordsworth, to Tennyson, Yeats, Eliot, and Betjeman. This edition includes a sixth book, prepared by John Press, which covers the post-war years, showing that the lyrical tradition remains strong. Over 90 poets are included, from Dylan Thomas, George Mackay Brown, Ted Hughes, and Philip Larkin to Carol Ann Duffy, Elizabeth Garrett and Simon Armitage. |
