This major new poetry anthology blends the best selections from the poetic tradition with a wide range of contemporary works, thematic casebooks, and engaging essays that contextualize poetry century by century.
Featuring a breathtaking scope of poetry from the English-speaking world, this diverse collection brings unparalleled historical and cultural background to the study of poetry, including discussions of the poetic conventions of the time and the poetic “fingerprints” of particular poets. Introductions by respected scholars provide historical context and thematic casebooks provide insight into key literary movements and demonstrate to students how to write effectively about poetry.
- Student-friendly introductions to each century (two for the 20th Century) discuss crucial historical and sociocultural factors to help students see how culture, politics, economics, and historical events interact with the poems.
- Numerous multi-national and multi-cultural selections feature Commonwealth and post-colonial writers, including poets from India, Wales, Ireland, Scotland, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and the Caribbean.
- A broad range of poetic styles—including more 20th Century poems than any other major poetry compilation–show students what contemporary critics and audiences value in more recent works.
- Three thematic casebooks focus on specific poems, themes, and approaches, serving as role models for student essays. Casebooks include "The Need to Please: Poetry and Patronage at the Court of Queen Elizabeth," "Eighteenth-Century London: Poetry and the City," "The Poetics of Power."
- Judicious footnoting allows students to interpret the poems without imposing an editorial bias.
- An essay on versification provides fundamental information on poetic forms, with references to poems in the anthology that illustrate the forms.

Ring Out Your Bells
from Astrophil and Stella
1 Loving in truth, and fain in verse my love to show
2 Not at first sight; nor with a dribbed shot
5 It is most true, that eyes are formed to serve
14 Alas, have I not pain enough, my friend
25 The wisest scholar of the wight most wise
31 With how sad steps, O moon, thou climb’st the skies
39 Come sleep, O sleep, the certain knot of peace
47 What, have I thus betrayed my liberty?
49 I on my horse, and love on me, doth try
63 O grammar rules, O now your virtues show
71 Who will in fairest book of nature know
90 Stella, think that not I by verse seek fame
101 Stella is sick, and in that sick-bed lies
102 Where be the roses gone, which sweetened so our eyes?
106 O absent presence, Stella is not here
107 Stella, since thou so right a princess art
Samuel Daniel (ca. 1562-1619)
from Delia
1 Unto the boundless Ocean of thy beauty
6 Fair is my love, and cruel as she’s fair

32 But love whilst that thou mayst be loved again
33 When men shall find thy flower, thy glory pass
50 Let others sing of knights and paladins

2 When forty winters shall besiege thy brow
12 When I do count the clock that tells the time
18 Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
20 A woman’s face, with nature’s own hand painted
29 When, in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes
30 When to the sessions of sweet silent thought
40 Take all my loves, my love, yea, take them all
53 What is your substance, whereof are you made
55 Not marble nor the gilded monuments
71 No longer mourn for me when I am dead
73 That time of year thou mayst in me behold
94 They that have power to hurt and will do none
116 Let me not to the marriage of true minds
