From Tottel's Miscellany (1557) to the last twentieth-century
Oxford Book of English Verse (1999), anthologies have been a prime
institution for the preservation and mediation of poetry. The
importance of anthologies for creating and re-creating the canon of
English poetry, for introducing 'new' programmes of poetry, as a
record of changing poetic fashions, audience tastes and reading
practices, or as a profitable literary commodity has often been
asserted. Despite its impact, however, the poetry anthology in
itself has attracted surprisingly little critical interest in
Britain or elsewhere in the English-speaking world. This volume is
the first publication to explore the largely unmapped field of
poetry anthologies in Britain. Essays written from a wide range of
perspectives in literary and cultural studies, and the point of
view of poets, editors, publishers and cultural institutions, aim
to do justice to the typological, functional and historical variety
with which this form of publication has manifested itself - from
early modern print culture to the postmodern age of the world wide
web.
