Beschreibung

<div><b>A vital guide to poetry from ancient times to the present</b><br> <br> Poetry is language made special, so that it will be remembered and valued. It does not always work – over the centuries countless thousands of poems have been forgotten. This <i>Little History</i> is about some that have not.<br> <br> John Carey tells 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 looks at poets whose works shape 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 started to question what makes a poem ‘great’ in the first place.<br> <br><i>Little Histories </i>– Inspiring Guides for Curious Minds</div>
