Reliques Of Ancient English Poetry V1 is an anthology of old English poetry compiled and edited by Thomas Percy. The book is a collection of old heroic ballads, songs, and other pieces of poetry from earlier poets. The book is divided into sections, with each section containing a different type of poem. The first section includes ballads, which are narrative poems that tell a story. The second section includes songs, which are shorter poems that are meant to be sung. The third section includes other pieces of poetry, such as sonnets and odes. The book is a valuable resource for those interested in the history of English poetry and the evolution of the English language. It provides a glimpse into the past and the literary traditions that have shaped English poetry over the centuries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
