Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The English Poets, Vol. 1: Selections With Critical Introductions by Various Writers The aim of this book is to supply an admitted want - that of an anthology which may adequately represent the vast and varied field of English Poetry. Nothing of the kind at present exists. There are great collections of the whole works of the poets, like that of Chalmers; there are innumerable volumes of ´Beauties´ of a more or less unsatisfactory kind; there are Selections from single poets; ere are a few admirable volumes, like that of Mr. Palgrave, which deal with special departments of our poetical literature. The only book which attempts to cover the whole ground and to select on a large scale is Campbell´s; and Campbell´s, though the work of a true poet and, according to the standard of his time, a critic of authority, can no longer be regarded as sufficient. It is indeed impossible that a selection of the kind should be really well done, should be done with an approach to finality, if it is the work of one critic alone. The history of English poetry is so wide, its various sections and stages have become the objects of so special a study, that a book which aims at selecting the best from the whole field and pronouncing its judgments with some degree of authority, must not be the work of one writer, but of many.
