A Victorian Anthology

A Victorian Anthology, 1837-1895 was an anthology of English poetry published in 1895.

About
A Victorian Anthology was compiled and edited by Edmund Clarence Stedman. Stedman designed the work as a companion volume to his 1875 study, The Victorian Poets. Accordingly he aimed "not to offer a collection of absolutely flawless poems, long since become classic and accepted as models; but in fact to make a truthful exhibit of the course of song during the last sixty years, as shown by the poets of Great Britain in the best of their shorter productions."
