The Classic Hundred Poems: All-Time Favorites Book
Here in one volume are the top one hundred poems, as determined by a survey of more than 1,000 anthologies -the poems in English most frequently anthologized, the poems with the broadest, most enduring appeal. From Shakespeare to Dickinson to Frost, from sonnets to odes to villanelles, William Harmon´s offers a feast for poetry lovers. This book updates the first edition by presenting the new top one hundred poems, nineteen of which were not in the first edition. The revised edition is arranged chronologically, and features new commentary and notes on verse form, as well as an index of the poems in order of popularity, notes on words and proper names, and a bibliography for each poet and each poem. A glossary of terms, author index, and index of titles and first lines are also included. From Keats´ "To Autumn," now ranked as the number-one poem in this collection, to George Herbert´s "Virtue," in the hundredth spot, every poem is illuminated by Harmon´s informative notes. With insights into the historical period in which each poem was written, the verse form used, and connections among poems, this is the ideal introduction to poetry, as well as a treasury for the dedicated reader.Read More
