Poems from the Past

Poetry from the Past is a teaching anthology for English Literature at Key Stage 3. Following a stimulating activity-based approach, editorial matter and poems fall opposite each other on double-page spreads. They are aimed at both the student and the teacher to encourage exploration and interpretation of the texts. A range of materials encompasses familiar and more unusual works for wide appeal.
