Uniquely ambitious and revelatory, Keegan's collection turns the traditional chronology of anthologies on its head, offering an uninterrupted sequence of poems according to their first individual appearance in the language. Its unusual structure enables it to present a striking, continuous view of English verse that emphasises the community of the poem rather than the isolation of the poet. Poems are seen as talking to each other, striking juxtapositions are made and a new chronology comes to light. Unlike other anthologies then, it chronicles the evolution of English verse in linguistic and historical, rather than purely biographical terms.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. This is the first Penguin book of English poetry since John Heywood's edition in the 1950s. A revelatory new anthology of English verse, poems are ordered by date of composition rather than in monolithic slabs devoted to individual poets. Original spelling is used. There is a high proportion of anonymous poetry and also verse written on surfaces other than paper (inscriptions etc.). It gives a more comprehensive view of English verse in showing poems talking to each other. What is more, it is the first anthology of its scope to treat the 20th century in similar depth to earlier centuries. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Artikel-Nr. GOR003190506
