Selected and arranged by R. P. Scott and Kath T. Wallas, the volume brings together a broad sweep of English verse ranging from the Elizabethan period through the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The anthology reflects the educational and cultural values of its time, presenting poetry not merely as literature, but as a means of shaping character, fostering patriotism, and nurturing an emotional connection to home, landscape, and shared tradition.\n       \u003c\/span\u003e\n       \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \u003cbr\u003e\n       \u003c\/div\u003e\n       \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003e\n        The contents are thoughtfully organised into thematic sections such as English Countryside, Home, Exile, Compatriots, The Call to Serve, and The Call to Happiness, drawing on an impressive range of poets including Shakespeare, Wordsworth, Tennyson, Browning, Milton, Burns, Shelley, Keats, Rossetti, Yeats, and many others. Published by Blackie \u0026amp; Son Limited of Glasgow, a firm renowned for high-quality educational and literary works, the book is handsomely bound in decorative cloth typical of the period and was intended for school, library, or serious domestic use. It would appeal especially to collectors of early 20th-century poetry anthologies, admirers of classic English verse, scholars of literary education, and readers drawn to themes of homeland, duty, and cultural heritage.\"\n       \u003c\/span\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n       \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003e\n        \u003cbr\u003e\n       \u003c\/span\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n       \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003e\n        Light wear and fading to covers.
