The Norton Anthology Of Poetry
''The Norton Anthology of Poetry'' is one of several literary anthologies published by W.W. Norton and Company. It is intended for classroom use, and has sold well. The anthology appeared in 1970 and is in its sixth edition, a volume which includes 1,871 poems. The book has been seen as representing a canon. For example, the inclusion of Bob Dylan (whose " Boots of Spanish Leather" was anthologized before he won the Nobel Prize in Literature) was cited as evidence of the acceptance of his credentials as a poet.

Boots Of Spanish Leather
"Boots of Spanish Leather" is a ballad written and performed by Bob Dylan, recorded in New York City on August 7, 1963, and released in 1964 on his album '' The Times They Are a-Changin'''. It features Dylan solo on the acoustic guitar, playing the song using fingerpicking. Background and composition Dylan scholar Michael Gray sees a strong parallel between this and the traditional folk song " Blackjack Davey," which Dylan arranged and recorded for his 1992 album ''Good as I Been to You'', and in which footwear "of Spanish leather" also plays a significant role. However, comparisons are more often made between this song and the traditional ballad " Scarborough Fair" (from which Dylan's "Girl from the North Country" is also drawn), both regarding melody and lyrics, as it also consists of alternating male and female narrators. Lyrically, "Boots of Spanish Leather" is unusual in that it uses the epistolary format. It has been described as a "restless, forlorn ballad for the ages and ...
