Cobden-Sanderson planned his anthologies of the great poets very carefully and they formed a key part of the later output of the Doves Press. In his volume of Shelley “the poems progress from ‘dejection, longing, love, satiety, despair, and death’ towards immortality, where the poet is made one iwth nature, and ‘The world’s great age begins anew’ (Tidcombe p.70).
