Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Thomas Gray, Thomas Parnell, William Collins, Matthew Green, and Thomas Warton The Poets, whose verses are included in this volume, bear a kind of relationship to each other, and seem to gain a grace and a charm from the bond of fellowship that unites them. Four of the number were contemporaries; two were friends; Parnell may be called an elder brother, for the expression of his fancy and the sweetness of his accent belong to the same family of Taste. What learned hands have already adorned the story of their life and their genius, the Editor need not mention; but he is bound with gratefulness to record his own obligations to the elegant researches of Mr. Mitford; to a pleasing edition of Collins, by Mr. Dyce; and to the affectionate gathering and annotation of Warton´s poetry, by the late Bishop Mant. The plan of the Editor will be better judged by the execution than the explanation. He began the volume with the design of prefixing short criticisms to the more remarkable compositions of the respective Authors, and of adding occasional foot-notes to illustrate a passage, or a word. His first steps led him into a wider field, and his love of this scenery of Imagination detained him longer upon the road, than either the length or the difficulty of the journey might seem to require.
