Oxford Book of English Verse Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
The Oxford Book of English Verse most commonly means the Oxford Book of English Verse 1250-1900 edited by Arthur Quiller-Couch, an anthology of English poetry that had a very substantial influence on popular taste and perception of poetry for at least a generation. It was published by Oxford University Press in 1900; in its india-paper form it was carried widely around the British Empire and in war as a 'knapsack book'. It sold close to 500,000 copies in its first edition. That is now available online.
Various successors have subtly differentiated titles. See Oxford poetry anthologies.
