Pocket Guide to Poets and Poetry (Paperback)

Continuing the success of the Pocket Guide series, Andrew Taylor's Pocket Guide to Poets and Poetry starts with a history of poetry, setting the poets and their work in the context of their time and the influence of their work including political agenda, festivies and historical celebrations and their chosen genre. The poets will be reviewed with their individual biographies, including their genre and best works. A must for everyone interested in poetry, those looking for more information about their favourite poets, as well as seeking to discover new favourites. It will also appeal to collectors of the Pocket Guide series by Remember When which includes The Pocket Guide to the Classics and The Pocket Guide to Plays and Playwrights.
