Selected and arranged by Francis Turner Palgrave, this landmark collection presents the finest lyrical poetry in the English language, drawn from centuries of verse — from the Elizabethan age through to the Victorian era — with additional poems expanding its already sweeping scope. Palgrave, a close friend of Alfred Lord Tennyson, curated the collection with a poet's instinct and a scholar's rigour, grouping poems not by author or period but by mood and theme, creating a reading experience that feels as organic as it is illuminating.\n\nFirst published in 1861, The Golden Treasury remains one of the most influential poetry anthologies ever compiled, introducing generations of readers to Shakespeare, Keats, Shelley, Wordsworth, and Blake. Palgrave's editorial sensibility — at once personal and authoritative — transforms what could be a mere catalogue into a sustained meditation on beauty, loss, love, and the enduring power of the lyric form. Whether encountered as a literary education or a private pleasure, this collection continues to ask: what does it mean for a poem to be truly golden?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130699129051,"sku":"2026100007948-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/cc971c5a-2570-4095-a9aa-4fb592c6e214.png?v=1786588825","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100007948-secondhand-the-golden-treasury-of-the-best-songs-and-lyrical-poems-in-the-english-language","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
