Ideal for English learners interested in English poetry. Detailed explanation of grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, and spelling used in the poem. Complete phonetic transcription in American and British English. Interpretation and explanation of complicated passages. Contains 20 beautiful illustrations by Gustave Dore. This book should be understood as a tool for improving one’s English “through” the poem, not just as a book about the poem itself. It explains over 200 words and phrases that are likely to be unknown to a non-native speaker, dozens of grammatical phenomena, contains detailed notes on pronunciation (in American as well as in British English), and explains complicated passages of the poem.
