This remarkable anthology is meant, in the words of its editor,
for all those 'who like a book that can always lighten some of
their burdens or give wings to their delight, whether in the open
air by day, or under the roof at evening; for I have gathered into
it much of the finest English poetry'. Already established as the
leading young critic of contemporary verse, Edward Thomas used this
volume to further a longstanding aim - to present English
literature to a new audience.
First published in 1907, the collection draws among others on
Thomas's contemporaries Yeats, de la Mare, T. Sturge Moore,
Masefield, Noyes, Davies and Housman. The volume remained in print
until 1950 in Jonathan Cape's "Travellers' Library" series, and, in
the words of his biographer R. George Thomas, 'remains an
expression of one side of Thomas - boon companion and ready singer
of songs among friends - that has often been overlooked'.
