NOTE: If you are concerned with proper pagination, you will see that the numbered pages run to 1132, but the pages actually start on page #3 (at least in my version of the book from 1950), for a total of 1130 pages and I have cataloged it as such.
If you are to try to count the roman numeral (front matter) pages from lvi (56) down to #i (1), you will only reach page #iii (3) (unless you count both sides of the front endpaper, which I normally do not count at all). So instead of listing this show more book with a front matter count of lvi (56), I feel I have properly cataloged it as liv (54).
I hate when books play this game. show less

Extensa antologÃa poética que recoge 571 poemas de 51 autores americanos, cubriendo todo el rango desde los tiempos coloniales hasta que se publica el libro, en 1950. Con este alto número de poemas en relación con el de poetas, se pretende que en el volumen queden recogidas suficientes muestras de cada uno como para que el lector se haga una idea clara de los rasgos generales de cada autor. Los poetas más recientes y menos conocidos están representados, en la medida de lo posible, por show more obras de cierta extensión en lugar de una dispersión de poemas breves. También se dan breves notas biográficas de los autores, y se sitúan las obras antologadas dentro de sus publicaciones. show less
