Popular Poetry, Popular Verse – Volume II
“Nearly 100 selections of poetry from well known poets spanning four centuries. The anthology is beautifully selected and documented and, as Naxos always does, punctuated with carefully chosen music. Father and son, Jasper and Tony Britton, use nicely complimenting, yet different styles for their narrations. They’re joined by Emma Fielding. There’s a great deal of variety here, from Robert Burns to Lewis Carroll, but each poet is given individual treatment…The pacing, appropriate pauses between selections, mood changes signaled by the music—all contribute to a sterling collection.”

With nearly one hundred of the most popular and loved poems in the English language, this collection is one of the most comprehensive anthologies of its kind available.
Popular Poetry, Popular Verse, Volume II covers a remarkable range, from the striking vision of Blake and Shelley, the insights of Keats, to the lighter but equally memorable verse by Tennyson, Donne, and Edward Lear.
