"The Oxford Book of English Verse, 1250-1900" by Arthur Quiller-Couch is an anthology published in 1900.

Designed to surpass Palgrave's famous "Golden Treasury," it focused on lyric poetry and included twice as many works. Carried as a knapsack book through war and peace, it sold over 500,000 copies and inspired an entire series of Oxford poetry anthologies spanning
multiple languages and traditions. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
