British critic, anthologist and poet Palgrave published both criticism and poetry, but his work as a critic was by far the more important. His Treasury of Sacred Song includes a selection of hymns from England's finest poems including Edmund Spenser, George Herbert, Henry More, Robert Burns, Christina G. Rossetti, John Sharp, and Alfred Lord Tennyson among others.
