About this book

Typical selections from the great English poets, arranged from Tennyson back to Chaucer, fill this school anthology compiled by James Baldwin. It was the first volume of the Select English Classics series from Silver, Burdett and Company, planned with notes for use in classes. A prefatory address to teachers and students sketches the story before Chaucer, from Anglo-Saxon verse and Beowulf through the change in the language after the Norman Conquest to its recognition in the law courts in 1362.
