The Golden Treasury Of the Best Songs and Lyrical Poems in the English Language Produced by James Tenison "The Golden Treasury" by Francis Turner Palgrave is a collection of the best songs and lyrical pieces in the English language, compiled during the mid-19th century. This anthology seeks to encapsulate and celebrate the essence of English poetry, focusing on works that convey deep emotion and thought, primarily through lyrically poignant expressions. It aims to provide readers with lasting aesthetic pleasure and enrich their love for poetry. The opening of the anthology begins with a dedication to Alfred Tennyson, acknowledging those influential in the realm of poetry. Palgrave introduces his collection, discussing its unique aim to gather only the finest lyrical pieces not by living poets, reflecting on the surprisingly delicate balance between emotional expression and the choice of pieces. He outlines his criteria for inclusion, emphasizing that he intends to create a resource that resonates with readers who cherish poetry, while simultaneously addressing the potential criticisms of selection and content. The preface further elaborates on the historical organization of the works, hinting at a journey through various styles and eras that have shaped English lyrical poetry.
