British Poetry of the Long Nineteenth Century

by Beverley Park Rilett

This anthology surveys Britain's golden years of poetry--the "long" nineteenth century. College students are introduced to the most frequently studied poems of eighteen poets, each afforded roughly equal space. Neither too condensed nor too comprehensive, this 436-page collection is designed specifically for six to eight weeks of poetry study in a British literature course.
