Summary: Anthologies provide ready, expansive insights into specific forms of literature. In the genre of poetry, nuptial poetry is singularly under-represented. The only extant anthology on nuptial poetry, published in the last decade of the nineteenth century, is now difficult to find, and does not have entries beyond the eighteenth century. The present anthology aims to compensate for this, and offers a comprehensive selection of epithalamic poetry from the fourteenth to the twentieth centuries. Apart from its wide coverage, the anthology also presents, for the first time, an epithalamic extract from Chaucer, and the hitherto uncollected pieces from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, all put together
