«100 Poems by 100 Poets» is the English poetry anthology edited by Harold Pinter, Geoffrey Godbert and Anthony Astbury, in paperback.
The anthology brings together a hundred poems by a hundred different authors to represent the richness and diversity of English poetry over five centuries. As the edition recounts, the editors set out to make the selection during a train journey and, after several meetings, chose texts ranging from the known to the most obscure.
Includes an index; originally published in 1986 by Methuen. This Faber and Faber edition is from 1991.
For readers who want a broad survey of English verse, from established authors to little-known pieces, without needing to follow a thematic thread.
