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.
