English Literature: The Essentials, Part 2 - Poetry

Our maverick English Literature instructor and theatre director lists 100 anthologies, collections, and significant works in an attempt to offer a core reading list in English Poetry. Once again, historic perspective and verisimilitude were taken into account, so that many omissions and hard choices had to be made, and it is hoped that both the selections and omissions will spark lively discussions.
