Palgrave's Golden Treasury of the Best Songs and Lyrical Poems in the English Language is probably the most famous poetry anthology ever compiled. Originally published in 1861, it quickly established itself as the most popular selection of English poems. Today it stands as a testament to the richness of our finest native poetic writing from Spenser, Shakespeare, and Wordsworth, to Tennyson, Yeats, Eliot, and Betjeman. This edition includes a sixth book, prepared by John Press, which covers the post-war years, showing that the lyrical tradition remains strong. Over ninety poets are included, from Dylan Thomas, George Mackay Brown, Ted Hughes, and Philip Larkin to Carol Ann Duffy, Elizabeth Garrett and Simon Armitage.

Palgrave's book became passé for a while but it still contains some of the most beautiful poetry you will ever read.
I recommend this anthology to anyone but especially readers who have an eclectic taste in poetry or are just willing to try different types of poetry.

Did not have John Masefield.s poems or 'Charge of the Light Brigade' and other well known poems that I am sure were in the original.
