Author Description

Palgrave's Golden Treasury is a poetry anthology compiled by Francis Turner Palgrave and first published in 1861. The book contains a selection of English poems from the Renaissance period to the mid-19th century, including works by Shakespeare, Milton, Wordsworth, Keats, and Tennyson. The anthology is divided into four books, each with a different theme: Love, Time and Change, War and Patriotism, and Nature. The poems are arranged chronologically within each book, allowing readers to trace the development of English poetry over time. The book's popularity led to several revised editions, including the 1907 edition. Palgrave's Golden Treasury remains a beloved and influential anthology of English poetry, widely used in schools and universities to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
