"The Oxford Book of English Verse, 1250-1900" by Arthur Quiller-Couch is an anthology published in 1900. This influential collection shaped popular taste in poetry for generations across the British Empire. 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.
