The Oxford Book of English Verse
 
1250–1900 https://www.bartleby.com/101/
 
Chosen and Edited by A. T. Quiller-Couch
 
From Arthur Quiller-Couch’s 1919 Introduction to this extensive collection: “For this Anthology I have tried to range over the whole field of English Verse…. To bring home and render so great a spoil compendiously has been my capital difficulty. It is for the reader to judge if I have so managed it as to serve those who already love poetry and to implant that love in some young minds not yet initiated.”

A nation of strangers Hardcover – January 1, 1972 by Vance Oakley Packard (Author)

  A nation of strangers  Hardcover – January 1, 1972 by  Vance Oakley Packard   (Author) Vance Packard, one of our most incisive social commentators, in this book deals with an urgent problem: the mass uprooting and the fragmentation of our society, which is turning into a "nation of strangers". We are living in a continually changing environment, fast relinquishing a basic human need: a sense of community. Forty million Americans now lead feebly rooted lives. At least a fifth of all Americans move one or more times a year, and the pace is increasing. What new institutions is this rootlessness creating.? What is its impact on our values, our behavior, our emotional well-being? https://www.amazon.com/nation-strangers-Vance-Oakley-Packard/dp/B0006C4RBA?ref_=ast_author_dp&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.co2unvVvW_u5LWD-ic1idnYeF1ir43RzBhYFJcboScckh4ZISNkt66c337jUJbm_foVBWfqGvZHqkctn3TLWMkom1plDtEIlipNBna54ZEMnd0assbjj-Wv08ArMWEitdptn7tL40kNkIwImhMlYVmiKF0HReAKe55pb_RsCyChRUbqCAyi-...
