The opening of this anthology presents a thoughtful introduction by Meynell, who reflects on the complexities involved in creating an anthology of high-quality poetry. She articulates the challenge of making selections with both authority and personal taste, emphasizing the responsibility of the anthologist to honor the collective wisdom of literary tradition. Meynell discusses the criteria for inclusion and exclusion, touching on the fluctuation of critical opinion over time and the rarity of truly great poetry.
