Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The English Parnassus: An Anthology Chiefly of Longer Poems, With Introduction and Notes The intention of the editors, which was to avoid selections, and to include in this Anthology only complete poems, exactly as they were given to the world by their authors, will appear in three instances to be violated. The first sestiad of Hero and Leander is here printed but not the second, the third and fourth cantos of Childe Harold without those that preceded them, and several passages from Wordsworth which are to be found in the Prelude. In Marlowe´s case, since the author himself left his poem uncompleted, the editors have ventured to omit that portion which is perhaps not so well suited to modern taste; the third and fourth cantos of Childe Harold arc included since they compose a poem wholly distinct from the first and second, written after an interval of years, and in a high degree characteristic of Byron in the maturity of his genius. The passages from Wordsworth were printed by the poet himself as separate poems before they were incorporated into his longer philosophical work. Though a glossary has been provided for the use of the general reader no explanatory notes have been added to the texts. It was not the intention of the editors to supersede the work of the teacher, nor to supply such easily obtained information as is generally to be found in the annotated editions of single texts.
