Eighteenth-Century Poetry

"This anthology has already set the standard for presenting eighteenth-century poetry as accessible, historically embedded, and relevant to contemporary debates. Its new edition continues in this tradition, with Fairer and Gerrard responding to and anticipating the newest conversations around gender, material and popular culture. Eighteenth-Century Poetry: An Annotated Anthology is staying on my desk."
—Christina Lupton, Warwick University

"Fairer and Gerrard's third edition of Eighteenth-Century Poetry: An Annotated Anthology is simply the one and only anthology to use when teaching 18th-Century British Poetry. The selections are judicious but wide-ranging, offering readers the traditional canonical figures as well as newly-recuperated poets, both male and female. The annotations are superbly informative and authoritative. Bravissimo!"
—John Richetti, University of Pennsylvania
