The wonderful anthology of verse and prose, short stories, reminiscences and diary entries, ranging from the traditional to the subversive, the whimsical to the sinister, the ironic to the tragic. Exquisitely illustrated with black and white drawings from many periods, The Christmas Reader is a perfect source-book for reading aloud to family and friends.
147 poets in a far-ranging survey of the Victorian age s significant poetic achievements. The pleasures of Victorian poetry lie in its multitude of lyric and dramatic voices and, above all, in its rhythmic power and subtlety. Nowhere else can these reading pleasures be better enjoyed than in the pages of Daniel Karlin s enormous selection of poetry written and published during the reign of Queen Victoria (1837-1901). Ranging from the late Romantic period to the brink of high modernism, The Penguin Book of Victorian Verse features a generous sampling of poems.
