This comprehensive anthology attempts to give the common reader possession of six centuries of great British and American poetry. The book features a large introductory essay by Harold Bloom called "The Art of Reading Poetry," which presents his critical reflections of more than half a century devoted to the reading, teaching, and writing about the literary achievement he loves most. In the case of all major poets in the language, this volume offers either the entire range of what is most valuable in their work, or vital selections that illuminate each figure's contribution. There are also headnotes by Harold Bloom to every poet in the volume as well as to the most important individual poems. Much more than any other anthology ever gathered, this book provides readers who desire the pleasures of a sublime art with very nearly everything they need in a single volume. It also is regarded as his final meditation upon all those who have formed his mind.

原文摘录
· · · · · ·
Prayer the church's banquet, angel's age,
God's breath in man returning to his birth,
The soul in paraphrase, heart in pilgrimage,
The Christian plummet sounding heav'n and earth
Engine against th' Almighty, sinner's tow'r,
Reversed thunder, Christ-side-piercing spear,
The six-days world transposing in an hour,
A kind of tune, which all things hear and fear;
Softness, and peace, and joy, and love, and bliss,
Exalted manna, gladness of the best,
Heaven in ordinary, man well drest,
The milky way, the bird of Paradise,
Church-bells beyond the stars heard, the soul's blood,
The land of spices; something understood. (查看原文)
见识了很多从没听闻过的诗人作品，尤其是莎士比亚同时代那些被他光芒掩盖的诗人，比如托马斯·坎皮恩《When to Her Lute Corinna Sings 》把他作为诗人和音乐家的灵魂浓缩进两节诗里，同样还有和哈代同时代的诗人罗伯特·布里奇，虽然收录作品寥寥可数，但也像获得了藏宝图，幸能再见人类群星璀璨。

应该搞本精装本。很难得不是凑数和糊弄事的选本。从选介的长度也能看出各位诗人的诗歌史上的位置。这样的本子花几百上千去买对需要的人来说也是值得的。唯一的缺憾就是平装太厚了。

布鲁姆在太多的文章里做了太多评判，其重复和居高临下的姿态反而不利于读者接受。所以，还是直接来看他选出来的作品吧，顺便参考一下他给每位诗人写的前言。这本虽然有点贵，但内容很精粹也很丰富，我猜会有人按这个给自己弄一个译本。

一本总集类的诗歌选，还附了作者生平，作品解析，有挖到真的不熟悉的作者。
