Reproduction of the original: Love Poems and Others by D. H. Lawrence

From Chaucer to Emily Brontë, John Donne to John Betjeman, Christina Rossetti to Stevie Smith - here is a collection of poems which is sensuous, passionate and erotic.

This important work of Chaucerian scholarship deals with two aspects of the poet and his work - his individual achievement and his place in history - and demonstrates that in both these senses Chaucer is a maker of English poetry.

George Gordon, Lord Byron (1788-1824) epitomized the Romantic poet. His bold, vibrant poetry reflected the sentimental values of his era. The 43 poems of this collection spand the development of Byron's lyrics of love.
