Originally published in 1861, "Palgrave's Golden Treasury" stands as a testament to the richness of our finest native poetic writing. As well as presenting work by such poets as Shakespeare, Wordsworth, Tennyson and Betjeman, this edition also covers post-World War II poetry.
This edition, based on careful study of the manuscript sources, includes every poem, verse drama, and fragment known to have been written by Keats. A commentary by Buxton Forman on the early printed editions, a chronology of Keat's life, and a note on the wealth of manuscript material complete the authoritative text.
An anthology of songs and lyrics in English verse, with selections from 1550 to the early twentieth century, "arranged to show the growth and unity of the English poetic tradition."
The book is a reproduction of a historical work, produced by the publishing house Megali, which focuses on making literature accessible to individuals with impaired vision through large print editions. This initiative emphasizes inclusivity in reading, allowing a broader audience to engage with historical texts.
