Much-loved Poems

An Anthology of some of the English-speaking World's Favourite Poetry

A Girl Reading a Poem

This is an anthology of poems that seem to sum up the best and most-loved of the English-speaking world's contribution to the canon. Inevitably the poetry is dominated by the works of poets from the British Isles or North America, and these are listed separately. Further, the poems of the British Isles are divided into a section for those from before the 20th Century, and those that were published subsequently. Additionally there are a number of themed sections included.

  • American Poetry
  • Poetry of the British Isles prior to 1900
  • Poetry of the British Isles subsequent to 1900
  • Humorous Verse
  • Love Poems
  • War Poems
  • Children's Poetry
  • The Poetry of Ireland
  • The Poetry of Scotland
  • Pick of Six Poets
  • Poetry for Funerals
