Handy Dictionary of Poetical Quotations Review
This is an excellent book full of great material. It was published in 1901 and has mostly English authors, plus a few from the Continent and America. The earliest author I found was Chaucer, and Shakespeare is quoted most frequently. There's no table of contents, but the quotes are printed alphabetically by topic- Abashed, Abbots, Abdication, so you can search for a topic you're interested in. You're told exactly where each quote comes from- e.g. Milton: Par. Lost, Bk. viii., line 561. The back of the book has an Index to Authors and an Index to Quotations. There are 2138 quotes in the book. And you can get this wonderful book for the price of... free!!!

I didn't care for this book. I expected to get quotes that I had heard before or made sense to me. I didn't feel I got either.
