Synopsis

A basic introduction to English poetry by one of our foremost poets and critics, and former Professor of Poetry at Oxford. Fenton takes Chaucer as his starting point, and offers a helpful guide to students and general readers alike. He explains the basics of rhythm and meter, and how certain genres have been fashionable at particular moments in history. Alive always to the social and literary context, but concentrating on some of the classic texts, Fenton offers a wonderful introduction to one of the glories of world literature.
