A beautiful new edition of The Golden Treasury, one of the most widely read anthologies of English Verse ever published. Meticulously compiled by poet and scholar Francis Turner Pa lgrave, in collaboration with then poet laureate Alfred Tennyson, The Golden Treasury is arranged chronologically in four books, which each celebrate a different era in the evolution of English poetry. 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 beautiful Macmillan Collector's Library edition includes a foreword by Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy, and is published to mark Macmillan's 175th anniversary. Show more
