Description

Paperback cover has some wear. Pages are clean and the binding is secure.

This well-preserved copy of F.T. Palgrave’s “The Golden Treasury” offers a gateway into the rich tapestry of English poetry. First published in 1861, this anthology was a landmark work that helped shape the canon of English literature. Compiled by Francis Turner Palgrave, a noted critic and Oxford professor, it brought together the finest lyrics and songs from the Renaissance to the 19th century. From the immortal verses of Shakespeare and Milton to the Romantic outpourings of Wordsworth and Keats, this volume encapsulates the beauty and depth of the English poetic tradition. Oscar Williams’ modern edition, published in the mid-20th century, reintroduced this classic to a new generation of readers. With its worn yet sturdy paperback cover, this copy bears the patina of a well-loved book, inviting collectors and poetry enthusiasts to immerse themselves in the timeless words that have inspired generations.
