5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the greatest Anthologies of the 20th Century,
I was an English major from 1948 to 1952, and this is the anthology I cut my teeth on. Williams not only went back to the 19th Century to include the first "modern" poets (e.g. Dickinson, Hardy, Hopkins, Housman) who were long dead in 1946, but he selected poets only then in their 20's who would later be acknowledged as great. His selection of poems also was excellent and these are now standard reading. He also includes 80 pages of delightful "Light Verse" seldom found in anthologies, much of which is not light in the sense of inferior. Also included are photographs of the poets and a useful index of first lines. 672 pp.
