Poetry Books that Harvard Literature Students Read in 1983
Join the poetry community and study this list with me at
For those seeking to upgrade their reading this year, here is a review of Harvard’s “Bibliography for English Undergraduate Concentrators“ (4th edition, gen. ed. Keven Van Anglen, 1983), a reading list for Harvard English majors compiled by members of Harvard’s English Department.
The entire list of poetry is too long to reproduce here. Instead, I select the best poets of every era listed by Harvard professors and add suggested updates for the contemporary reader along the way.
Introduction to the list 0:00-2:30
I. Bible and Classical Backgrounds 2:30-12:13
II. English Literature from the beginning to 1500 12:13-21:12
III. English Literature from 1500 to 1660 21:12-31:17
IV. English Literature from 1660-1790 31:17-43:27
V. English Literature from 1790-1890 43:27-48:57
VI. American Literature to 1890 48:57-54:39
VII. English and American Literature from 1890 to the present 54:39-56:42
VIII. The Theory and Criticism of Literature 56:42-59:03
