Living in a revolutionary age, Coleridge's poetry was written in a spirit of moral and emotional inquiry into the absolutes of the human condition. He is best known for his visionary poetry ('Kubla Khan') and his ballads ('The Rime of the Ancient Mariner'), but he used and transformed a variety of verse forms, from the sonnet to the conversation poem, on subjects as diverse as nature, love, and politics. This selection calls attention to the range of Coleridge's work, its strong autobiographical...

These poems contemplate the poet’s native land of Russia, while at the same time casting a jaundiced eye on the alien culture of America, where he spent the final years of his life. Whether absorbed by the world of literature (particularly his fellow poets) or relating real-life experiences, Loseff conjures up a restless, frequently disturbing universe, full of complex imagery, rich literary allusion and formal experiment. Lev Loseff was born in 1937, grew up in Leningrad and worked as a journalist...

Goethe viewed the writing of poetry as essentially autobiographical and the works selected in this volume represent over sixty years in the life of the poet. In early poems such as 'Prometheus' he rails against religion in an almost ecstatic fervour, while 'To the Moon' is an enigmatic meditation on the end of a love affair. The Roman Elegies show Goethe's use of Classical metres in homage to abcient Rome and its poets, and 'The Diary' , supressed for more than a century, is a narrative poem whose...

The First World War was one of seemingly endless and unremitting waste and sacrifice. 'Who will remember, passing through this Gate, The unheroic Dead who fed the guns?' was Siegfried Sassoon's anguished cry for those whose sacrifice seemed futile. Yet eighty years later it is because of Sassoon and his fellow poets - Owen, Rosenberg, Sorley and many others - that we do remember. This new anthology will serve as an introduction to the poetry of that great conflict, and the inclusion of a number of...

William Shakespeare (1564-1616) was born in Stratford-upon-Avon. He married Anne Hathaway in 1582 and later went to London, where he became an actor and playwright with the Lord Chamberlain`s Men, as well as a poet.

This book contains selections from Ghalib (1797-1869), the most famous Urdu poet of the nineteenth century, and widely regarded as the greatest Urdu poet till now. Ghalib was highly individualistic by temperament, and though he looked up to the long past Persian masters, he was destined by character to defy tradition, which he did both in metaphysical and romantic poetry. All Urdu poets were grounded in mysticism, but Ghalib was a sceptic, having pantheism for his matrix. A believer at the conscious...
