Oxford Poetry was founded by Basil Blackwell in 1913. It was nearly his first publication on joining the family firm, but not unprecedented: in the 1880s his father Benjamin Henry Blackwell had published University prize poems and the undergraduate literary magazine "Waifs and Strays", to which the young A. E. Housman was once a contributor. For its first thirty years, Oxford Poetry was to overlap considerably with Blackwell's other benefactions to undergraduate poetry, two series of slim volumes (under the title "Adventurers All") and the termly magazine "Oxford Outlook" (1919-38), which shared many editors and contributors with OP. Money-losing then, they are collector's items now, a prospect which perhaps appealed to Blackwell, an expert bidder at antiquarian book auctions. "Oxford Poetry 1910-1913" was followed by a supplement a year later, and so on until the supplements took on a life of their own.
