Synopsis
Wordsworth protested against the 'ruthless change' wrought by the arrival of the railways, but since his day, they have themselves taken on a poetic light. Edited by two of our most distinguished poets, this delightful anthology includes railway verse by Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, TS Eliot, John Betjeman and many others, including those much-loved classics, WH Auden's 'Night Mail' and Edward Thomas's 'Adlestrop'.
