 This anthology presents a selection of works that illustrates the traffic between British poetry and classical literature.

Gives readers the classical background they need in order to really appreciate British poetry.

Divided into two halves – the first half presenting a selection of the best British poems, and the second presenting relevant classical works in translation.

Notes and introductions highlight the connections between British works and their classical forebears.

Many present-day readers of literature in English have little background knowledge of classical literature and therefore find it hard to appreciate the relationship between the two traditions. This "anthology "presents a selection of works from British, Irish, and Caribbean writers that illustrates the traffic between poetry in English and in Greek and Latin. It gives readers the background they need in order to really appreciate English-language poetry influenced by the classical tradition, and it provides those already familiar with classical works with reflections of Greek and Latin authors in English
