Twentieth-Century American Poetry is an unprecedented collection of poetry which allows readers a unique survey of the movements, schools and distinctive voices of modern and contemporary American poetry. With the collaboration of America's leading poetry publishers, the collection brings together 50,000 poems by over 300 poets. Twentieth-Century English Poetry contains the poetry of over 280 poets from 1900 to the present day, reflecting the multiple concerns and techniques of a century's writing. From modernist experiment to postmodern playfulness, from Georgian convention to free-verse confession, and from Edwardian poetry of empire to post-imperial diversity, the collection embraces vital contrasts and continuities.
