Poetry at Present (Classic Reprint) by Charles Williams Pdf

Excerpt from Poetry at Present In order to keep it unanswerable, the work of the poets has been confined to their poetry; other books, novels, or studies in battle, travel, or politics, or sor cery, or criticism have been left on one side. Poetry, and poetry alone, is the present business with the poets. The short bio-bibliographies supplied give (where possible) the main dates of publication, but do not, of course, profess to be complete. The poets have gone on publishing while these comments were at the press; the most important of those new books has been the Poet Laureate's Testament of Beauty. Had Wordsworth published the Prelude while he held the office the later poem would have had a rival as a Laureate s work. A first reading of it suggests that, though nothing can be added, there is, fortunately, no need to alter or remove anything here. My gratitude is due to the friends, at Amen House and elsewhere, who have discussed the essays with me; to Mr. J. G. Wilson (for many kindnesses), and to my wife for providing time in which they could be written. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A Poet's Anthology of Poems (Classic Reprint) by Alfred Noyes Pdf

Excerpt from A Poet's Anthology of Poems These words deserve the attention which their author evidently (for he repeats them elsewhere) desired them to have They deserve it because they embody a response to a question which has never been directly answered, and perhaps never will be answered in the fixed form of a definition, the old question - What is poetry?

A Household Book of English Poetry (Classic Reprint) by Richard Chenevix Trench Pdf

Excerpt from A Household Book of English Poetry The first question which I asked myself, when I resumed a purpose long ago entertained, and then for a long while laid aside, of publishing such a selection of English Poetry as the present, was this, namely, whether Mr. Palgrave by his Golden Treasury had not so occupied the ground that there was no place for one who should come after. The selection is one made with so exact an acquaintance with the sources from which such a Trea sury as his should be replenished, with so fine a taste in regard of what should be admitted there, that this was the conclusion to which at the first I was disposed to arrive. But on further consideration I saw reason to change my mind. The volume which I meditated was on so different a scheme and plan from his, that, while no doubt I should sometimes go over ground which he had gone over before, it seemed likely that for the most part our paths would be different, and the poems which I should select not identical with those already chosen by him. This to so great an extent has proved the case, that of more than three hundred pieces which compose this volume, less than sixty have appeared in his. And.

Present Day American Poetry, and Other Essays (Classic Reprint) by Harry Houston Peckham Pdf

Excerpt from Present Day American Poetry, and Other Essays We like poetry, even contemporary poetry; but we are not willing to admit it. Instead Of lauding our present-day bards, we assume an unbending attitude and declare that we hunger for really great poetry, but protest that the verses of our living writers are so puerile, so trivial that we cannot condescend to notice them.

The Realm of Poetry by Stephen J. Brown Pdf

Excerpt from The Realm of Poetry: An Introduction One gathers from a recent survey of contemporary poetry 3 that in the United States interest in poetry has never been so great nor so widespread asit is at present. American poets, we read, are giving us more good poetry to-day than has ever been produced in any other period of our history. Poetry, the first of American poetry magazines, has flourished since 1912. And now it has rivals in The Lyric and Contemporary Verse.

Later American Poems (Classic Reprint) by J. E. Wetherell Pdf

Excerpt from Later American Poems This anthology, as its title suggests, is intended as a companion to the editor's earlier book, "Later Canadian Poems." The scope, however, of this collection of American poems is very much wider. American literature divides itself naturally into two epochs, - the earlier including the great names of Bryant, Whittier, Emerson, Longfellow, Poe, Holmes, Lowell and Whitman, -the later including all the living poets and their deceased contemporaries. This anthology, therefore, embodies a collection of American poems written since about 1860, omitting the work of those poets of the earlier epoch that continued to write after that date. The selections in this volume are quoted from the works of more than fifty authors. The number might easily have been increased to a hundred, but a manual such as this cannot be exhaustive. All the greatest writers of verse of the present epoch are, it is believed, represented here. Of the minor poets some readers may miss a favorite or two, but a cogent reason could be given for every omission. The present volume is intended mainly as a supplementary reading-book for Canadian High Schools, and that design has influenced the editor not only in his choice of poems but also in determining the limitation in the list of authors.
