The College Book of Verse

"The College Book of Verse, 1250-1925" is a comprehensive and meticulously curated anthology of English poetry spanning nearly seven centuries. Compiled by Robert Malcolm Gay, this collection serves as a definitive survey of the evolution of the poetic form, beginning with the transition from Middle English to the Modern era and concluding in the early 20th century.
