“A Collection of Poems by Several Hands” by Robert Dodsley (1 ene 1748 año – 1 ene 1758 año)

Descripción:

- collection of verse that made contemporary poetry a matter of high moral seriousness

- prior to this, post-Restoration: publishers had issued anthologies, miscellanies, and compendia of verse, ephemeral works, jokes, and literary fragments

- BUT: these had remained something of a second-class form, a patchwork creation slapped together from left-over poems and pamphlets
