with Introduction

"Oxford Poetry is dead. After four barren years this is a resurrection, perhaps even a renascence..." For two volumes the word "New" appeared on spine and title page, while the text was printed in a font owing more than a little to Times New Roman, Stanley Morison's radically modernist font for "The Times" (1932). Nothing had actually changed.
