Description
Great poetry can indeed outlast stone and the glory of princes, and
the English poetic tradition is perhaps the richest in the world. This
audiobook tells the story of that tradition through its towering
figures – Spenser and Shakespeare, Milton and Dryden,
Wordsworth and Tennyson, Whitman, Dickinson and Eliot – and
through scores of other poets. Clear and accessible, blending
criticism with imagination and illustrated with scores of
quotations, this new history will delight all who care about the past
and the future of English poetry.
