(  ) robert0409 | Apr 8, 2009 |  Book One of The Golden Treasury contains Elizabethan Poetry which contains poetry by Wyatt under Henry VIII to Shakespeare midway through the reign of James I. The style is lyrical in form and is characterised by simplicity and straightforwardness of thought. Here is a simple lyric by Shakespeare: Young Love Tell me where is Fancy bred, Or in the heart, or in the head? How begot, how nourish-ed? Reply, reply. Is it engender’d in the eyes; With gazing fed; and Fancy dies In the cradle where it lies: Let us ring Fancy’s knell; I’ll begin it, - Ding, dong, bell. - Ding, dong, bell. Cute, but, not brilliant. (3 Stars) TheTortoise | Nov 15, 2008 | Very Good condition  jnajack | Oct 1, 2008 | This is a superb anthology. Palgrave's selection is fantastic; this volume contains several of my favorite poems and many great ones that I'd not encountered before reading this book. The arrangement is also wonderful, and allowed this to become the only anthology of poetry that I have actually sat and read cover-to-cover in the designated order. My copy has additional poems through the 1920's. Unfortunately, the editors of this section are not nearly as discriminating as is Palgrave, and I'd hardly consider this section to contain only the "best" of the period, or even to offer a good representation of the best works. ( ) osunale | Feb 11, 2008 | Quite an amazing collection of poets included here. Shakespeare, Byron, Tennyson, Wordsworth, Whitman, Shelley, Keats, Campbell, Sir Walter Scott, Elizabeth Barrett Browning - the list goes on and on. The dedication to the original is to Lord Alfred Tennyson, who was poet laureate at the date of the original publication. ( )1  janehutchi | Sep 17, 2007 |  no reviews | add a review
