British and American Classical Poems

Newly edited and annotated by Horst Meller and Rudolf Sühnel. In Continuation of Ludwig Herrig's »Classical Authors«. Corrected reprint of the edition of 1966.

The choice of "classical" poems was not arranged in the conventinal way of chronology, or author biography, or subject matter, but according to literary genres and modes, as archetypal patternings of human experience. The editors and publishers "have brought out a volume of poetry so well selected, so well printed and illustrated that one would wish it in the hands of all lovers and students of American and English verse."
