Publisher's Synopsis
This treasure trove of British poetry brings together over 100 classic poems, selected by bestselling author and proud patriot George Courtauld. Including national favorites such as Rupert Brooke's The Soldier, George Herbert's Love and John Betjeman's A Subaltern's Love Song—these are poems chosen for their resonant power, nostalgia, and simplicity. The author places each poem in its historical context, gives a potted biography of each poet, and offers his own personal interpretation of the words and themes.
