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'.
