Poetry in English by M L Rosenthal
Ranging from Beowulf to today's poets, the editors have selected poems that best reflect their period, demonstrate the development of a genre, illustrate significant aspects of the poet's craft, and speak to the modern reader.
`Excellent selection of English and American poems with adequate annotations' V Bischoff, Philipps Universitat Marsburg
'`I particularly appreciate the attention given to modern poetry and the remarkable section on versification.' Van Noppen, Universite Libre de Bruxelles
`This anthology seems to provide reliable texts, representative samples of the tradition of English poetry with invaluable introductions and notes. Portuguese students should welcome the comprehensive choice and the scholarly expertise of all contributors. The appendix on versification is an unusual feature in anthologies and should be compulsory reading for our undergraduates.' Professor J. Almeida flor, Department of English University of Lisbon
