Succinctly called `a book of tales of various kinds, romantic, humorous, ghostly, and gory, written at any time over the past six hundred years` by the compilers, Iona Opie and the late Peter Opie, this universally-appealing collection of 59 poems presents a comprehensive literary tradition of narrative verse from Chaucer to Auden.
The anthology includes Pope`s `The Rape of the Lock,` Coleridge`s `The Rime of the Ancient Mariner,` Tennyson`s `The Lady of Shalott,` Poe`s `The Raven,` and Carroll`s `The Hunting of the Snark,` along with such twentieth-century narrative classics as G.K. Chesterton`s `Lepanto,` Robert Frost`s `The Code,` Marriott Edgar`s `The Lion and Albert,` and W.H. Auden`s `The Ballad of Barnaby.` Abridgements and extracts from book-length narratives such as Spenser`s The Faerie Queen and Milton`s Paradise Lost add to the richness and variety of the collection. The Opies also provide extensive notes which trace the source of the poet`s inspiration, whether fact or fiction, and demonstrate how the creative process has transformed that source into a work of art.
