The Penguin Book Of Love Poetry
Condition remarks:
Condition: Good to fair. Paperback. Page Condition: Good - possible tanning. Markings: possible previous owner inscription.
The Penguin Book of Love Poetry is a rich and sweeping anthology that gathers centuries of verse dedicated to love's many forms — from burning desire and tender devotion to heartbreak and loss. Edited by Jon Stallworthy, the collection draws on an extraordinary range of voices spanning classical antiquity to the twentieth century, presenting poets from Shakespeare and Donne to Hardy and Neruda in one authoritative volume. Arranged thematically rather than chronologically, it charts the full emotional arc of love — courtship, consummation, jealousy, parting, and remembrance — with each section illuminating a different facet of the human heart. The result is both an accessible introduction for the general reader and an indispensable reference for anyone serious about the poetic tradition.
