Over three editions, The
Norton Anthology of Poetry has become the classroom standard
for the study of poetry in English. A wide and deep quarry of
poems from the medieval period to the present day, it is a book
instructors rely on as a rich and uniquely flexible teaching
anthology, and one that students delve into well beyond college.Now,
responding to more than a decade of new scholarship and suggestions
from the classroom, and to the vitality and diversity of poetry
itself, the new Fourth Edition introduces a wealth of new poets
and poems as well as thoroughly revised editorial apparatus.
