Greetings,
I just found this internet resource ... it is far
too wonderful to keep to myself and not share.
It is the original 1919 edition with 883 poems.
"The Oxford Book of English Verse 12501900"
Chosen and Edited by A. T. Quiller-Couch
http://www.bartleby.com/101/index.html
>From Bartleby.com ...
From Arthur Quiller-Couchs 1919 Introduction to
this extensive collection: For this Anthology I
have tried to range over the whole field of
English Verse
. To bring home and render so great
a spoil compendiously has been my capital
difficulty. It is for the reader to judge if I
have so managed it as to serve those who already
love poetry and to implant that love in some
young minds not yet initiated.
... and also ...
My wish is that the reader should in his own
pleasure quite forget the editor's labour, which
too has been pleasant: that, standing aside,
I may believe this book has made the Muses
access easier when, in the right hour, they come
to him to uplift or to console.
-- Arthur Quiller-Couch
I hope that you find it to be both pleasant and a valuable
reference.
I am,
Lord Vincenzo Martino Mazza,
In Service to the Dream
