[B. P. Rinehart · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is an interesting republishing of a book anthology of various poetry put out by the American poet William Cullen Bryant. It is not really my specialty, but I can say this is as decent a compilation of Victorian poetry as you can get.

All opinions in my reviews are my own.

The poems in this book have a range of topics, making this a good book for pervayers of literature and poetry.

Especially when you know you enjoy poetry, but are in a reading rut author/topic wise.

I highly enjoyed this book.

The most comprehensive collection of poetry I've been able to find.

What I read I enjoyed but it was too big!

[Hayley Shaver · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked this poetry book. It was filled with famous English-speaking poets and their poems or poems who had been translated. It was divided handily into sections such as "Nature" and "Humour". I didn't feel it was completely a five star book, however, because it left out some notable poets I thought should be in it because they were so famous in their time.

I'm so thrilled to have found this volume for $10 at my favourite used book store, Starlight Books.
