If you like pre-twentieth century English and American poetry you should like this volume. If you are looking for only one anthology of such poetry to buy, I would recommend this one.

My favorite poetry book, ever.....,
By Morning Glory (Hawaii) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Illustrated Library of World Poetry (Hardcover)
I got this book 22 years ago as a teenager. I loved it and read it so often it fell apart. I need to buy another one. If I had to choose an all-time favorite book, this would be it.
