Summary "Bulchevy's Book of English Verse" by Arthur Quiller-Couch is a comprehensive anthology of English poetry that spans a significant period from the 13th century to the late 19th century. This collection seeks to celebrate the finest works of English verse, drawing not only from well-known poets but also from anonymous contributions that enrich the tapestry of the English poetic tradition. The beginning of "Bulchevy's Book of English Verse" presents an insightful preface where the editor outlines his approach to curating the anthology. Quiller-Couch describes the selection process, emphasizing his goal to present the best of English poetry while making it accessible to both seasoned poetry lovers and newcomers. He discusses the arrangement of works by poets in order of their birth and shares his reasoning for modernizing certain archaic spellings to aid readability without sacrificing authenticity. This thoughtful introduction sets the stage for the diverse range of poems included in the collection, which reflects on love, nature, and the human experience.
