The Harvard Classics Volume 40 (English Poetry Vol 1) Published 1910
Edited by Charles W Eliot LL D. (March 20, 1834 - August 22, 1926)
English Poetry Volume I - From Chaucer to Gray
From the Introductory Note:
The aim in these three volumes of English Poetry [HC vols 40-42] has been to give, as far as the limits of space allowed, a substantial representation of the most distinguished poets of England and America for the last five hundred years. Among previous anthologies an especially wide recognition has been given by the best judges to Francis Turner Palgrave’s “Golden Treasury of the Best Songs and Lyrical Poems in the English Language,” first published in 1861; and it has been thought best to make that collection the nucleus of the present one. All the poems originally selected by Mr. Palgrave have, accordingly, been retained, with the exception of those by Milton and Burns, which appear in the Harvard Classics in the complete editions of the poetical works of these two authors.
