內容簡介
The Golden Treasury
of Poetry is a popular anthology of English poetry, originally selected for
publication by Francis Turner Palgrave in 1861. It was considerably revised,
with input from Tennyson, about three decades later. Palgrave excluded all
poems by poets then still alive.
The book continues
to be published in regular new editions; still under Palgrave's name. These reproduce
Palgrave's selections and notes, but usually include a supplement of more
recent poems. Christopher Ricks in 1991 produced a scholarly edition of the
original Treasury, along with an account of its evolution from 1861 to 1891,
with inclusions and exclusions.
