Long the classic anthology of poetry in English, The Norton Anthology of Poetry , Fifth Edition, adds to its wealth of known and loved poems a rich gathering of new poetry. Beginning with Beowulf , newly represented by selections from Seamus Heaney's dazzling translation, and continuing to the present day, The Norton Anthology of Poetry includes over 1,700 poems by 340 poets in the Regular Edition. Many major figuresâfrom Chaucer and Shakespeare to Ashbery and Walcottâhave expanded sections, and a range of outstanding younger voices have been newly added. Concise annotations, biographical sketches, an Essay on Versification by Jon Stallworthy, and, new to this edition, an Essay on Poetic Syntax by Margaret Ferguson help readers understand and enjoy the poems.
