Description
This is an anthology of English verse. Poems are ordered by date of composition rather than in monolithic slabs devoted to individual poets. It also includes a high proportion of anonymous poetry and written on surfaces other than paper. The entire poetic tradition, from epitaphs to ballads, folk poetry to nonsense verse, is revealed in a fresh light.Tags

I love that this text keeps all the original spelling and arranges works by their publication dates, instead of by author's birth year.
An anthology which, rather than grouping poems by author, gives us the poems by consecutive year as much as possible.
Collection of poems from Middle Ages to twenty-first century. Arranged by year of publication rather than by life of poet.
