Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)If you want to appreciate English literature, and perhaps even to write lucidly a work of fiction, then this book affords a useful start. The editors have culled poetry, drama and short stories into one text. Choosing from centuries of classic works.
The best coverage is of poetry. If only for the prosaic reason that poems are usually short. So the editors were able to amass an impressive gathering. Shakespeare, Milton, Frost, Cummings, Plath, Yeats and many other poets figure here. Some of the most piognant poems touch on Death. Showing the attentive reader how poets have attempted to confront it, in timeless manners.
