Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Golden Poems by British and American Authors Having this popular aim prominently in view, the compiler of the present volume has hoped to be able, by limiting his selections as closely as possible to short pieces, to bring together a larger number and greater variety of popular poetical favorites than can perhaps be found elsewhere in equal compass. It would of course be too much to expect that any reader could find here all his favorite pieces. Judgments would differ in many instances as to what should be given precedence; and some chance omissions are inevitable. As a necessary result of the preference for short pieces, many of the older writers are represented but sparingly: and from this there also results, what it is hoped may prove to be an advantage - and what, indeed, has been one of the objects of the book - that many pieces are to be found here which are not usually given in similar collections. In order to afford as wide a representation of authors as possible, the selections have been confined, except in a very few instances, to a small number from each. Many authors, indeed, are known by but a single piece - which would hence have a special claim to a place here. As far as practicable, whole poems have been chosen; but where an author could best be represented by some familiar or characteristic extract, this has been used, and in such case the full title of the poem from which the extract is taken usually appears at the end. Great pains have been taken to secure correct versions of the pieces used. This is, however, a matter of too much difficulty to permit any one who has ever attempted it to be confident of entire success.
