Edited by Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch, a prominent literary critic and writer, the book includes works by famous poets such as Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, Wordsworth, and Tennyson, as well as lesser-known poets whose work has stood the test of time. The anthology is divided into two parts, with the first part covering the period from 1250 to 1800, and the second part covering the period from 1800 to 1900. The book is considered a landmark in the history of English poetry anthologies, and has been widely used as a reference and teaching tool for students of English literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
