The New Oxford Book of Eighteenth-Century Verse: Reissue Roger Lonsdale (Emeritus, Balliol College, Oxford)

No previous anthology has succeeded in illustrating so thoroughly the kinds of verse actually written in the eighteenth century. The familiar tradition is fully represented by selections from such poets as Pope, Swift, Tomson, Gray, Smart, Goldsmith, Cowper, Burns, and Blake. In addition, the anthology includes verse by many forgotten writers, both men and women, from all levels of society. Although they have never figured in conventional literary history, they wrote humorous, idiosyncratic, and graphic verse about their personal experience and the world around them, in a way that should challenge received ideas about the period's restraints and inhibitions.

The New Oxford Book of Eighteenth-Century Verse Bewertungen

Review from previous edition a major event...Forces a reappraisal of what 18th-century poetry is. * John Carey, Sunday Times *
a major anthology: one of the best that Oxford has ever produced. * James Fenton, The Times *
the most important anthology in recent years * The Economist *
indispensable * Kingsley Amis *
a bold, subtle, endlessly fascinating anthology which challenges the received view of 18th-century verse ... The result is a living text that bustles with many and varied voices, rather than a still-museum of well-known urns. Anyone who cares about poetry should read it. * Tom Paulin, Daily Telegraph *
brilliant * Notes and Queries *
'fascinating ... The breadth, the scope of this anthology would be difficult to surpass * The Scriblerian *
Here is a whole bustling world of street ballads, hymns, rhymes, polemics, squibs and jokes, as well as the classics Lonsdale's introduction authoritatively shows how the 18th century structured itself, suppressing some voices in favour of others. This is what a historical anthology ought to be like. * The Observer *
there is much to be gleaned from the 870 pages of this anthology ... The songs of Sheridan, Congreve, etc., come as gusts of fresh air in a drawing-room. * Irish Times *
the greatest pleasure in this superb anthology is given by the forgotten poets whom Professor Lonsdale has rescued from oblivion * Charles Osborne, Sunday Telegraph *
