Like a patchwork quilt made from scraps of loved clothing, Anne`s Anthology exposes its readers to best-loved poems from a previous era. Its almost 700 pages of hard-to-find poetry include the entire text with notes of Scott`s Marmion, Heman`s The Siege of Valencia, Byron`s Childe Harold`s Pilgrimage Cantos III & IV, Pope`s An Essay on Criticism, Greenleaf`s Snow-Bound: A Winter Idyll and Tennyson`s Lancelot and Elaine, as well as many other shorter poems. Revel in your favorite lines as Anne did, "exulting in its rushing lines and the clash of spears in its imagery." A compilation of many of the pieces of poetry that Lucy Montgomery mentions in her Anne of Green Gables series and pieces that the girls in her audience were very familiar with.
