Reviews from previous edition: This magnificent, heartening book... In handing the whole poetry of the past back to the range of people who wrote it, Jones has passed it forward to us. --Andrew Motion, Observer
For general and specialist readers-- and also for poets--there are things in these 700 and more pages of verse that will quicken the pulses, as they bring home a sense of the immense resources and variety of our poetic inheritance. --Charles Tomlinson, Independent
Every now and again, an anthology is published which is also a real book. That is, the editor's selection shows us new ways of reading a poetry. Such a work is The New Oxford Book of Sixteenth-Century Verse, edited by Emrys Jones: it is like a first-class history, only better because it consists of
all the data, and we draw the conclusions for ourselves. This is a volume, then, that being both inclusive and interpretive may be read for pleasure or required as a textbook. And such are its virtues that it might well be used as a handbook in styles by the beginning poet. --Times Literary
Supplement
Quite splendid, a veritable treasure house... this New Oxford Book of 16th-Century Verse is to be resoundingly recommended. --London Review of Books
