From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Oxford Book of Twentieth Century English Verse is a poetry anthology edited by Philip Larkin. It was published in 1973 by Oxford University Press with ISBN 0-19-812137-7. Larkin writes in the short preface that the selection is wide rather than deep; and also notes that for the post-1914 period it is more a collection of poems, than of poets. The remit was limited by him to poets with a period of residence in the British Isles. Larkin's generous selection of Thomas Hardy's poems has been noted for its influence on Hardy's later reputation.[1] On the other hand, he was criticized, notably by Donald Davie, for his inclusion of "pop" poets such as Brian Patten.[2] The volume contains works by 207 poets.
