Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Book of Elizabethan Lyrics: Selected and Edited The making of an anthology of any form of poetry is like the culling of a nosegay, a matter in which selection by color, form, and fragrance counts for much, and arrangement according to taste, prejudice, or caprice makes up the remainder. If this be not the method, it is likely to be that of the herbarium, in which appear both flowers and weeds with labelled completeness, in substance dull, in order categorical. It is too much to expect that the disadvantages attending these usual methods have been wholly avoided in the following pages. Every collection of poetry must be made on a plan primarily subjective, and some one will always be found to disapprove, to wonder at the omission of a favorite, or to criticise the editor´s eccentricity of judgment. I accept with frankness all responsibility on this score, but hope that a diligent endeavor to become acquainted with the whole field of Elizabethan lyric verse, even in its humbler productions, together with the exercise of a conservative judgment in choice, may have accomplished somewhat in toning any too emphatic an accentuation of the personal note. Employing the word Elizabethan in a broad sense and that usually accepted, this collection aims to cover the half century from the publication of The Paradise of Dainty Devises, 1576, to the death of John Fletcher, 1625.
