<p>Caxton Editions [Published date: 2001]. Hard cover, 190 pp. First Edition. [Excerpt from jacket flap] This beautifully illustrated book contains an amazing selection of poems which demonstrates the strength of the poetic voice of Ireland, the wit and richness of language, the breath of inspiration which is as strong today as it was in centuries past. This wonderful compilation goes back to the earliest Irish writings which arose from a past shrouded in mystery to the voices of Jonathan Swift, Thomas Moore, Oscar Wilde, and the great poets of the twentieth and the twenty-first century, including - among others - poems by W.B. Yeats, Louis MacNeice, Patrick Kavanagh, Brendan Kennelly and Seamus Heaney, who is justly regarded as one of the outstanding voices of our times, and who was awarded the Whitbread Book of the Year in 1996 and the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1995.</p>

History

BROCKHAMPTON PRESS

<p>Sandwiched between England and Scotland, the Lakes have acted as muse to many a writer, their unique beauty and serenity calling to the souls of poets. In this fully illustrated anthology we discover the landscapes which inspired the Lakeland Poets - William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Robert Southey among others. The Lakeland Poets also touches on the work of several poets not usually associated with the Lakes but whose work was influenced by visits to the region. John Keats traveled through on his way to Scotland in 1818 and incorporated his impressions of the majestic landscape into Hyperion. John Ruskin was taken to the Lakes as a child and was inspired to write his earliest published verse, and Matthew Arnold composed some of his best-known verse after a pilgrimage to Wordsworth's grave. This timeless anthology is enhanced throughout by the beautiful and sensitive work of the artist Alfred Heaton Cooper (1814-1929).</p>
