The fat tome Book of Women Poets for it's international and historical focus--it opens with Enheduanna, a Sumerian Priestess who may be the earliest known name in written literature. The Immortal Poems of the English Language offers 447 poems embracing a wide range of the best poets in the language from Chaucer to Dylan Thomas. This is a slimmer volume than either, having been published in 1970 would miss the best of the last half century and with only 270 poems of the English language. It's value added is the grouping into themes: Nature, Creatures, Portraits, Stories, Love, Generation, Humor, Places... Home and Away, Belief, Commitment, Protest, War, Death, Alienation, Human Condition, Meaning of Life. To take as an example the smallest section, humor, it includes: Lewis Carroll, The Mad Gardener's Song Guy Wetmore Carryl, The Sycophantic Fox and the Gullible Raven W. S. Gilbert, Nightmare Robert Burns, To an Artist Lewis Carroll, Evidence Read at the Trial of the Knave of Hearts Phyllis McGinley, Death at Suppertime That illustrates one of the book's strongest virtues, that it doesn't just go to the usual subjects, and in fact my favorites in that section come from the more obscure poets--Carryl and McGinley. So, an anthology at least worth considering. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
