Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Five Centuries of English Poetry: From Chaucer to De Vere; Representative Selections With Notes and Remarks on the Art of Reading Verse Aloud The editor of a new volume of selections from English poetry can hardly shirk the necessity of writing a preface. "Many such books exist already; some of them are very good books; why then produce a new one? The genus is hardly one to be encouraged; it means scrappiness, snippets, and (for students) the evasion of serious and useful literary study." Objections such as these must be looked for. I trust then, I may occupy some space in explaining how the present work does not increase the number of books that are either noxious or superfluous. I will not dilate upon my primary aim, which was to make provision for the special wants of certain students in whom I am particularly interested. But that the work was intended for methodical study by students, not for the literary recreation of casual readers, this has to be noted, as it excludes the notion of attempted competition with a large class of works compiled without any scholastic intention and best represented by the Golden Treasury of Songs and Lyrics. In the next place, this volume is by no means a lyric anthology. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
