Summary "The Golden Treasury" by Francis Turner Palgrave is a celebrated anthology of English lyrical poetry compiled in the mid-19th century. This collection features some of the best songs and lyrical poems drawn from three centuries, preserving the essence of English literary heritage. The anthology aims to connect readers with the beauty and emotional depth of poetry, showcasing works from renowned poets including Shakespeare, Milton, and more. The opening of the anthology introduces readers to the purpose and significance of the collection. Palgrave expresses his hope that this assortment of poems will not only delight readers but also enrich their appreciation for poetry. He outlines the criteria for selecting the lyrical pieces, aiming to include only the best original works focused on singular thoughts or emotions, while excluding narratives or didactic poems. The preface emphasizes the editor's meticulous curation process and his desire for the collection to resonate with both poetry enthusiasts and casual readers alike.
