'The most exacting and lucid close-reader of poetry, his criticalvirtuosity has allowed him to escape the narrow historical specialisms of otherprofessors ... He has done the job beautifully.'John Mullan, Evening Standard and Yorkshire Post 27/9/99, 'Ricks must be one of the few people on the planet both famous enough to be asked to remake this book and widely enough read to do it well ... such anthologies stand or fall on findings from minor authors, and Ricks offers a bounty of obscure poems ... Long after reviewers stop debating howRicks chose each item, readers will keep returning to these pages to find yet another good poem they've not before seen.'Publishers Weekly, 25/10/99, Ricks, I am pleased to see, has included no weak poems as concessions to "diversity," the poems in his Oxford Book of English Verse are almost uniformly worth reading, and the ones that fall below the usual level are included for a reason (for example, "Twinkle, twinkle little star") ... Gardner had a taste for the high and the holy. Ricks is more skeptical and more wide-ranging. He has a better sense of humor and he includes more light verse ... Ricks has an unmatched range of knowledge about English poetry ... it remains true that anthologies are the route by which young people find poets, and that this one is full of good introductions to good poets., "Readers will keep returning to these pages to find yet another good poem they've not seen before."--Publishers Weekly "Anthologies are the route by which young people find poets, and this one is full of good introductions to good poets." --Helen Vendler, The New Republic, 'it is hard to fault this massive work ... there is such wealth here ... vast expanse of brilliance in this new age of growing poetic appreciation.'Beverly Davies, The Lady 30/11/99, The event to celebrate is the marvellous new edition of The Oxford Book of English Verse ... a treasure-house laid up in deliberate succession to Palgrave's Treasury ... it could not have been better done. Here are poems to remember, poems to make part of one's being, the movement of one's own mind., "Readers will keep returning to these pages to find yet another good poem they've not seen before."--Publishers Weekly "Anthologies are the route by which young people find poets, and this one is full of good introductions to good poets." --Helen Vendler,The New Republic, Ricks has an exceptionally sharp but benevolent eye for what is canonical, and also for what might shine, were the dust blown off it ... his selection is reliable and enterprising ... although authoritative, his book has about it a satisfying openness and variety., 'It's simply the best anthology of English poetry we have, from our best editor and critic.'David Sexton, Evening Standard 6/12/99, Ricks has steered a canny course between tradition and innovation ... Someone had to take on the enormous - and political - job of deciding what is pestilence and what is poetry, what is worth keeping and what worth forgetting ... Ricks has performed that Herculean task splendidly., 'Christopher Ricks's introduction and preface are worth the investment. He argues modestly and well for his choices and also for the criteria he set himself ... This is just the kind of resolutely unfashionable, impolitic, ambitious, fusty and intelligent anthology we need.'Lavinia Greelaw, New Statesman and Society 29/11/99, 'It comes with an air of having been there in the first place and ofplanning to be around when everything else stops ... Ricks has opened thisanthology to hymns and nursery rhymes, as well as extracts from dramaticpoetry.'Sean O'Brien, Guardian 2/10/99, dramatic verse appears in this new edition in all its majestic sonority, including some of the greatest English poetry ever written., 'Christopher Ricks, in his new version of the Oxford book, tends to steera shrewd, eclectic course half-way between those taken by his two precursors ...Ricks's book is altogether more reader-friendly than either of its twoforerunners.'Ian Hamilton, The Sunday Telegraph 3/10/99, 'Ricks must be one of the few people on the planet both famous enough tobe asked to remake this book and widely enough read to do it well ... suchanthologies stand or fall on findings from minor authors, and Ricks offers abounty of obscure poems ... Long after reviewers stop debating how Ricks choseeach item, readers will keep returning to these pages to find yet another goodpoem they've not before seen.'Publishers Weekly, 25/10/99, 'Christopher Ricks ... has produced a thoroughly revised and updatedversion of one of the most famous, if more staid, Oxford anthologies ... Rickshas done very well. He has made perfect selections ... richly entertaining, withenough surprises among the familiar moments to keep me happy. If you want, orwant to give, one single big anthology of English verse, then this is theobvious one to go for.'Andrew Marr, The Observer 10/10/99, 'reveals a whole nations's literature indelibly saturated with Christianity.' Christopher Idle, New Directions, Nov. 2000., 'Here is a book for believers to prize, unbelivers to ponder, and budding writers of hymns and songs to study compulsorily for a year, learning as much as they can by heart.' Christopher Idle, New Directions, Nov. 2000., 'The selection represents a solid and dependable view of the past.'Michael Glover The Independent 4/12/99, 'The inclusion of a much higher number of women poets than in previouseditions and such undervalued genres as limericks and nursery rhymes makes for abrave and comprehensive selection.'Ned Danny, Daily Mail 8/10/99, 'updated for the millennium, this anthology has been expanded to include awider, more eclectic selection of earlier verse'The Scotsman, 2/10/99, hefty and handsome volume ... Ricks shows that, although his tastes are much more catholic, he has as sharp an ear as "Q" for the particular pleasure of lyric ... His is the first Oxford Book adequately to mark out the relations between English and Scottish poetry, and the generosity of his selection from Anglo-Welsh changes the twentieth-century picture ... his selection of poems is rewardingly the work of an exceptional critic., 'In his many books ... he has shown a grasp of English poetry scarcely matched by anyone since his great mentor William Empson ... this is a book that deserves to gather plaudits, not dust. Whatever the geographical quibbles over his title, Ricks has restored at least some of its glory to thatragged entity, the canon.'David Wheatley, Irish Times, 16/10/99, "Readers will keep returning to these pages to find yet another good poem they've not seen before."--Publishers Weekly"Anthologies are the route by which young people find poets, and this one is full of good introductions to good poets." --Helen Vendler, The New Republic, 'In his many books ... he has shown a grasp of English poetry scarcelymatched by anyone since his great mentor William Empson ... this is a book thatdeserves to gather plaudits, not dust.

Synopsis
With its fresh and glittering choice of the jewels of English poetry, Christopher Ricks's Oxford Book of English Verse -- third in succession, after Arthur Quiller-Couch's original volume (1900) and Helen Gardner's new selection (1972) -- is a treasury from more than seven centuries of the poet's art. Ampler in range -- up to Hughes and Heaney -- it combines celebrated poems with a wealth of newly-chosen works, giving us 'Sumer is icumen in' and Anna Seward's 'Old Cat's Dying Soliloquy', Keats's 'To Autumn' and Christina Rossetti's 'Goblin Market', Hugh MacDiarmid's 'O Wha's the Bride?', Stevie Smith's 'Not Waving but Drowning', Larkin's 'Mr Bleaney', and hundreds more. For the first time, wonderful poems that are also translations are included, likewise nursery rhymes, clerihews, and the great dramatic verse of Shakespeare and his contemporaries. Lyric, laughter, song, satire, story: this is an anthology to move and delight all who find themselves loving English verse., Here is a treasure-house of over seven centuries of English poetry, chosen and introduced by Christopher Ricks, whom Auden described as 'exactly the kind of critic every poet dreams of finding'. The Oxford Book of English Verse, created in 1900 by Arthur Quiller-Couch and selected anew in 1972 by Helen Gardner, has established itself as the foremost anthology of English poetry: ample in span, liberal in the kinds of poetry presented. This completely fresh selection brings in new poems and poets from all ages, and extends the range by another half-century, to include many twentieth-century figures not featured before -- among them Philip Larkin and Samuel Beckett, Thom Gunn and Elaine Feinstein -- right up to Ted Hughes and Seamus Heaney. Here, as before, are lyric (beginning with medieval song), satire, hymn, ode, sonnet, elegy, ballad . . . but also kinds of poetry not previously admitted: the riches of dramatic verse by Marlowe, Shakespeare, Jonson, Webster; great works of translation that are themselves true English poetry, such as Chapman's Homer (bringing in its happy wake Keats's 'On First Looking into Chapman's Homer'), Dryden's Juvenal, and many others; well-loved nursery rhymes, limericks, even clerihews. English poetry from all parts of the British Isles is firmly represented -- Henryson and MacDiarmid, for example, now join Dunbar and Burns from Scotland; James Henry, Austin Clarke, and J. M. Synge now join Allingham and Yeats from Ireland; R. S. Thomas joins Dylan Thomas from Wales -- and Edward Taylor and Anne Bradstreet, writing in America before its independence in the 1770s, are given a rightful and rewarding place. Some of the greatest long poems are here in their entirety -- Wordsworth's 'Tintern Abbey', Coleridge's 'Rime of the Ancient Mariner', and Christina Rossetti's 'Goblin Market' -- alongside some of the shortest, haikus, squibs, and epigrams. Generous and wide-ranging, mixing familiar with fresh delights, this is an anthology to move and delight all who find themselves loving English verse., Here is a treasure-house of over seven centuries of English poetry, chosen and introduced by Christopher Ricks, whom Auden described as "exactly the kind of critic every poet dreams of finding."
