A review by schopflin
The Treasuries: Poetry Anthologies and the Making of British Culture by Clare Bucknell

slow-paced

3.0

This was a well-meaning present and well-written, but was a bit of a slog for me. It's only tangentially a book or publishing history, focusing on a series of examples of poetry collections to describe specific cultural moments in British history. I think it probably doesn't help that I am not a poetry reader but regardless of that,  some episodes were of more interest than others.
