Jon Stallworthy byl uznávaným literárním vědcem a básníkem, jehož dílo se často zabývalo tématy války a paměti. Jako profesor angličtiny na Oxfordské univerzitě zasvětil svůj život studiu a šíření literárního umění. Jeho básně a kritické práce zkoumají hluboké lidské zkušenosti, zejména dopady válečných konfliktů. Stallworthyho zájem o rodinnou historii ho inspiroval k vytvoření poezie, která propojuje osobní vyprávění s širšími historickými událostmi.
Jon Stallworthy has here selected some of the most moving, funny, shameless, and erotic love poems in history. Representing the work of more than 190 poets, he offers a comprehensive history of love poetry through the ages.
