Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from American Poems This is, as far as I know, the first miscellaneous collection of American Poetry, of any considerable size, that has been published in England. It gives examples from 65 authors (including two anonymous), - the total number of the compositions being 255. In America there have naturally been several such compilations. The first project of the kind was that of James Rivington, a printer in New York, who in 1773 proposed to publish a collection on the same plan as Dodsley´s in England. The revolution of the American colonies stopped this scheme. In 1791 appeared Matthew Carey´s Beauties of Poetry, British and American, in which nineteen native writers were represented. Various other works of the same class followed; among which may be named those of Samuel Kettell in 1829, and of the poet Bryant in 1839, and especially that of Mr. Rufus Willmot Griswold in 1842.
