Samenvatting	This is a selection of nature poems taken mainly from the 19th century onwards. The introduction surveys the stylistic changes over the centuries, noting how the early idealized and stylized work gradually gave way to the imaginative poetry of the Romantics and the realism of the 20th century. It comprises a wide range of poets: Wordsworth, Clare, D. H. Lawrence and Ted Hughes feature prominently though little-known poets are also included. Some 20-25% of the work is devoted to non-British writers, the majority of whom are American, such as Robert Frost and Robinson Jeffers, but Canadian writers such as Archibald Lampman and Wilfred Campbell and Australians such as John Blight and Kenneth Mackenzie are included.

An index of poems, first lines, and a list of poets and their nationalities is also included.
