Summary: Good
Review: I am giving this collection five stars because is a wonderful collection for its price. Dover really does put out some great books for around a dollar. This collection has all of the usual love poems which appear in every love anthology like Shakespeare's "Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer's Day," Jonson's "To Celia," Browning's "How Do I Love Thee," and Poe's "Annabel Lee." The thing that impressed me about this collection were some of the little-known poems which did find their way into this book. I've always loved the poems of Thomas Campion, Thomas Moore, Walter Savage Landor, and John Clare, and each had a number of poems in the book. Any lover of love poems should buy this anthology. It is easily worth the dollar it takes to buy it. I would also recommend the anthology "Love Poems" selected and edited by Peter Washington for Everyman Library for anyone who wants to buy a collection of love poems.

Summary: As good as a collection of Love Poems gets
Review: I got this as a stocking stuffer for my girlfriend a few years ago. There are some excellent poems, especially Browning and Shakespeare.I did find out by reading this poetry collection that I'm just not a big fan of love poetry. All the best is here, but except for four or five poems, it just doesn't move me. If you are a lover of romantic poetry however, you can scarcely go wrong with this collection. It contains all the classics and many more. The price is just right too, obviously not published by someone out to make money, but by someone who wanted to share the poetry.

Summary: passion and romance
Review: This is an excellent collection of love poetry. You won't easily find this many classic gems under a single volume for such a low price. The only thing I regret is I would have liked to have seen some love poems from the second half of the 20th century too. But this collection, spaning 4 centuries, includes most of the greatest romantic verse ever penned by the likes of Shakespeare, Donne, Blake, Burns, Byron, Poe, Browning, Yeats, Dickinson, Whitman, and so on. A worthy addition to any poetry lover's collection.
