Palgrave, Francis Turner (sh)




born Sept. 28, 1824, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, Eng.
died Oct. 24, 1897, London

English critic and poet.

He spent many years in the civil service's education department and taught poetry at Oxford. His Golden Treasury of English Songs and Lyrics (1861), a comprehensive, well-chosen, and carefully arranged lyric anthology, influenced the poetic taste of several generations and was important in popularizing the works of William Wordsworth.
