Excerpt from The Leading English Poets From Chaucer to Browning: Edited, With Introduction, Biographies, and Glossary Any anthology involves judicious selection. That the present one will meet in all respects the varying judgments of all its readers is too much to expect.

He has tried, within the limits of a single volume, to present a collection of the best and most representative poems of the leading English poets from Chaucer to Browning. He has tried in his selection to approximate the general opinion of those worthiest to judge. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
