This fourth part, roughly covering the nineteenth century, leads the reader through one of the most productive periods in English literature.This volume includes 376 poems by 128 different poets, arranged in order by the year of their birth. As you might imagine, the Romantic poets are well-represented in the collection, as are the Victorians. There are also many fine poems from less familiar poets for the reader to discover. Most of the poems were penned by British poets, with a handful from American authors.Having set his heart on choosing the best, the compiler consulted existing anthologies, but only after making his own choice. As he says, &#8220;The best is the best, though a hundred judges have declared it so.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>Additional information:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ages:&nbsp; <\/strong>12-18<span><strong>Length:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/span><span> <\/span><em><span>449 pages<\/span><\/em><span><span><span><span><strong>Format:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><span><span><span><span><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><em><span><span>Paperback<\/span><\/span><\/em><span><strong>Illustrations:<\/strong><\/span><em><strong><span>&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><span>&nbsp;None<\/span><\/em><span><span><span><span><strong>Year published:<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><span><span><span><span> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><em><span><span><span><span>2022<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em><span><span><span><strong>ISBN:<\/strong>&nbsp; <\/span><\/span><\/span><em>978-1-63334-173-9&nbsp;<\/em><span><span><span><span style=\"letter-spacing: px;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: Npx;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: Napx;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: NaNpx;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: .px;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: px;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: Npx;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: Napx;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: NaNpx;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: .px;\"><strong><span>Genres:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><em><span><span><span><span style=\"letter-spacing: px;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: Npx;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: Napx;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: NaNpx;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: .px;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: px;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: Npx;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: Napx;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: NaNpx;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: .px;\"><span>&nbsp; <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><span>Literature, Poetry<\/span><\/em>                    <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Purchase book at Amazon<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Add print book to cart<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><strong><strong><strong>Table of Contents<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>507-508.
