Audiobook: Nonfiction
Consider nonfiction audiobooks as a return to the time in your life when you absorbed a tremendous amount of information, more than you knew: when your elders taught you and when you were in school. Hearing rather than visualizing from text is a different and very effective way to learn history, biography, humor, theology, and many other topics. Professional readers, rather than lecturers, ease the process and increase the enjoyment.
The History of English Poetry
The History of English Poetry
Great poetry can indeed outlast stone and the glory of princes, and the English poetic tradition is perhaps the richest in the world. This audiobook tells the story of that tradition through its towering figures – Spenser and Shakespeare, Milton and Dryden, Wordsworth and Tennyson, Whitman, Dickinson and Eliot – and through scores of other poets. Clear and accessible, blending criticism with imagination and illustrated with scores of quotations, this new history will delight all who care about the past and the future of English poetry.
