THE DOG IN BRITISH POETRY

Product Description

Compiled by R. Maynard Leonard

Originally published in 1893, THE DOG IN BRITISH POETRY was the first ever anthology of poetry about dogs.

This work was a labour of love for its editor who collected 200 canine poems by the finest writers in British poetry - Geoffery Chaucer, Robert Burns, Lord Byron and Alfred, Lord Tennyson to name but a few.

This charming and handsome volume concludes with a section of fascinating scholars notes and indices of the poems by breed and by the dogs names.
