Rather than privileging brief lyric fragments, the collection champions the sustained poetic achievement, showcasing epic, narrative, and meditative works that demand and reward the reader's full attention. The selection illustrates the remarkable breadth of English poetry from its earliest roots through to the modern era, tracing the evolution of form, voice, and theme across centuries of literary history. Authoritative in its editorial vision and rich in its scholarly sensibility, the anthology argues implicitly that the longer poem represents one of the highest expressions of the English poetic imagination, offering readers an immersive and intellectually rewarding encounter with the canon at its most ambitious.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887899914459,"sku":"2026200007511-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/84d8e995-a08b-4018-bf92-7731e37c14ff.png?v=1781748376","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200007511-secondhand-the-english-parnassus-an-anthology-chiefly-of-longer-poems","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
