An easy to read, fascinating story of the politics behind the poetry, followed by the poetry itself.
'The Story of Poetry' follows the style of this classic new series, with the first half of each volume showing how poetry was as much a reflection and sometime-counterweighted reaction to the current affairs of its own times. The poetry comes alive when we see it set contextually.
This book is certain to become a classic and indispensable historical anthology, accessible and comprehensive.
