This new, revised and expanded version of our companion book to The Art of Poetry 15, is a concise anthology, featuring 64 Pre-C20th poems chosen especially with KS3 pupils in mind. Starting with Sappho, Ovid and Dante, the anthology takes pupils chronologically through key developments in poetry up to the cusp of the present day. On this journey, pupils will come across some familiar names, with poems by the likes of Chaucer, Shakespeare and Dickinson, but there will be plenty of new discoveries too. Some of the poems will certainly present a challenge for this age group, but these are leavened with more accessible ones. In The Art of Poetry, volume 16, pupils will encounter poems about heroism and love, ghosts and giants, villains and monsters, romance and gunfights, identity and friendship, animals and outlaws, and much more besides.

This is a revised, expanded and improved version of the book we published in 2014. The whole content has been dismantled, overhauled and put back together again so that it reflects the changing demands of English Literature GCSEs. Whereas the first version was the product of one teacher brain, this one has the benefit of two brains and two difference experiences of teaching hundreds of pupils how to write essays.
