The Golden Treasury

Of the Best Songs and Lyrical Poems in the English Language. Selected and Arranged with Notes by Francis Turner Palgrave. Foreword by Carol Ann Duffy.

Francis Turner Palgrave's 'Golden Treasury' was originally published in 1861 and became the standard anthology of poetry for over a hundred years. Its original aim was to teach 'those indifferent to the Poets to love them, and those who love them to love them more', and in its many editions since then it has been recognized as the most popular anthology ever published. To mark the 150th anniversary of its original publication, this facsimile reproduction of the 1861 edition features a specially-commissioned Foreword by the current Poet Laureate, Carol Ann Duffy, which celebrates its heritage and affection in the hearts of poetry lovers worldwide.
