Enchanting --Stephen Fry

Did you know:

  • Lord Byron sold more books in a day than Jane Austen did in her lifetime
  • During the First World War there were more women poets published than soldier poets
  • A kitchen-maid became one of the most popular poets of the 18th century

Some people worry that they don't appreciate poetry; but English poetry wasn't written to be appreciated, it was written to be enjoyed. For six centuries people have been reading poetry for enjoyment - for fun, romance, religion and entertainment - and this is a book about those people.
