No previous anthology has tried to illustrate so comprehensively the kinds of verse actually written in the eighteenth century.  The familiar tradition is fully represented by selections from such poets as Pope, swift, Thomson, Gray, Smart, Goldsmith, Cowper, Burns and Blake.  In addition, the anthology includes verse by many forgotten writers, both men and women, from all levels of society.  Although they have never figured in conventional literary history, they wrote humorous, idiosyncratic, and graphic verse about their personal experience and the world around them, in a way that should challenge received ideas about the periods restraints and inhibitions.

A stylish reissue of Roger Lonsdale's widely praised anthology of 18th-century poetry: no previous anthology has succeeded in illustrating so thoroughly the kinds of verse actually written in the eighteenth century.
