On this page:

there are entries for the The Oxford Book of English Verse and the New Oxford Book of English Verse. The former are correctly attributed to Quiller-Couch, but the editor of the New Oxford Book of English Verse is not Quiller-Couch but Helen Louise Gardner:

The New Oxford is not a new edition of the original Oxford but a different book; Gardner herself says in the introduction (I have a book club copy), 'The present edition is not a revision of Q's revision but a new anthology'. Hence the word 'New' in the title.

On Helen Gardner's profile page, the Quiller-Couch anthology is listed as one of her titles. This should be replaced with the New Oxford.

Could someone please sort this out?

Thanks.
