The Top 10 Poets - The Cavaliers: Five p Robert Herrick, Thomas Carew, Richard Lovelace, Sir John Suckling, Edmund Waller, William Cartwright, Thomas Randolph, Sir Richard Fanshawe, Aurelian Townsend & Lord Edward Herbert of Cherbury
The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives. Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives.
But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy.

In this volume England is engulfed in Civil War. The Divine right of Royalty versus The Will of Parliament. The King versus the People. Poets, born into one side or the other, use chosen words to fight this literary war. Here, the flamboyant, entitled Cavaliers reveal poets and poems that both embellish their cause and leave us a glorious poetic legacy.
