Reseña del editor:

Drawing on poetry written in English and on European poetry in translation, this unique anthology tells the story of the century in verse - primarily the story of world events but also of social changes, technical developments and ways of thinking and behaving. There are sections on The Jazz Age (Mayakovsky, Eliot), Work (Betjeman, Elizabeth Bishop), the Sixties (Dylan, Adrian Mitchell), the Holocaust (Primo Levi), All the Lonely People (Larkin, Frost, Lennon/McCartney), and many more. The 20th century has been a great age of poetry - this book uses poetry itself to throw light on the century.
