A vital guide to poetry from ancient times to the present.
Poetry is language made special so that it will be remembered and valued. It does not always succeed – over the centuries, countless thousands of poems have been forgotten. This Little History is about some that have not.
John Carey shares the stories behind the world's greatest poems, from the oldest surviving one written nearly 4,000 years ago to those being written today. Carey examines poets whose works influence our view of the world – such as Shakespeare, Whitman, and Yeats – and more recent poets like Sylvia Plath, Seamus Heaney, and Marianne Moore who have begun to question what makes a poem ‘great’ in the first place.
