The "One Hundred Series" covers a wide range of topics, including famous fables, speeches by renowned figures, English and American poetry, letters from famous people, love letters, witty sayings, and mythological stories, with each volume consisting of one hundred entries. This book collects one hundred love poems, selected from one hundred poets from the United Kingdom, the United States, Ireland, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand during the 16th to 20th centuries, with each poet contributing one poem. It includes well-known poets such as Wyatt, Spenser, Wordsworth, and Keats, as well as some poets less familiar to Chinese readers. Although their fame varies, their poems are deeply heartfelt and beautifully moving. The selected works are arranged in chronological order by the poets' birth years, allowing readers to glimpse the changing trends and concepts of love in different eras through the lens of love poetry.
