Stressed, Unstressed by Jonathan Bate

Can you be re-lit by poetry? This little book offers everyone one of the oldest of all remedies for stress: the reading of poetry.

‘Inspired … With excellent commentary from beginning to end, this useful book is cheaper than therapy … A wonderful volume for every home’ Bel Mooney, Daily Mail

‘Packages up some of the most beautiful and beloved of poems (from Horace to Clive James, by way of Shakespeare, Emily Dickinson and WB Yeats) … Read a poem a day and it could save your sanity as much as any fancy new theory … Above all, the poems remind us what it is to be human in any age, and that we are not alone’ Sunday Times

Jonathan Bate is a well-known literary scholar.

Paula Byrne is a best-selling author and Chief Executive of The Bibliotherapy Foundation.
