Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Century of French Poets, Being a Selection Illustrating the History of French Poetry During the Last Hundred Years This book has been a long while making for a task not apparently so arduous. It was more than once laid down and taken up again, at long intervals, and no doubt the result on this account and others will show disparity and incoherence. My choice of French poetry was already settled - but for about a dozen pieces added since - when the very liberal Anthology of M. Walch, Les Poetes Contemporains, appeared, which with its supplementary volume, devoted to the earlier part of the last century, covers the whole of the same period. A good many of the poems I had selected may be read there; but I did not think it necessary to modify my list in consequence, because this is a compilation intended for English readers and accompanied by whatever I could offer as a help to their enjoyment. Though a fair proportion of the very finest French verse written in the century, as far as I can judge, is included there is so much else of interest coming far short of that superlative that I would rather call this a Chrestomathy (if the word were less pedantic) than an Anthology proper. My plan was to cull, among the works of some forty poets - not necessarily all the best, but each representing a phase in the later poetical development of France - such examples as should convey a just notion of their peculiar qualities and of their range.
