The Golden Treasury
The Golden Treasury: Of English Verse | Francis Turner Palgrave
1 post | 2 read | 1 reading
The Golden Treasury is one of the most loved anthologies of English poetry ever published. The book was meticulously compiled by poet and scholar Francis Turner Palgrave, in collaboration with Alfred Tennyson, who was then poet laureate. It is arranged chronologically in four books which each celebrate a different era in the evolution of English poetry, from Elizabethan to the 19th century. All the greats are here, including Shakespeare and Milton, Marvell and Pope, Wordsworth and Keats. First published in 1861, it became the standard anthology for over 100 years. This Macmillan Collectors Library edition includes a foreword by Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy, and is published to mark Macmillans 175th anniversary.

I picked up this classic last weekend at a neat little independent bookstore. Yes, I love poetry, but what drew me to this copy is the foil stamping on the cover and the Victorian elements of the design.
