GREAT POETRY OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE: GEOFFREY CHAUCER TO EMILY DICKINSON

---

No anthology of English poetry is better known, more respected, more than Palgrave's Golden Treasury. In a simple chronological arrangement, without regard to theme or type, Palgrave collected for us the poems he loved best from the best loved poets in English and Scottish literature.rnBut Palgrave died nearly a hundred years ago, and, although four splendid revisions of the Golden Treasury have provided us with treasures by later poets, non have extended their selections to America. No criticism of these editions is intended as it may reasonably be considered that in inclusion of American poets would change the original intention and character of the first Palgrave. However, at this point in time who can draw a real distinction between English and American poetry? Which antologist seeking to please a wide readership wherever poetry is loved would any longer exclude one or the other? Accordingly, I have deleted in this edition those poems I judge no longer likely to appeal to a contemporary reader, and I have added my own favorites in the public domain from the long chronology of distinguished American poets and a few poems by poets not yet distinguished.
