Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Nepenthe: A Poem in Two Cantos George Darley never was a popular poet, even during his lifetime, and perhaps, after half a century of neglect, it is now too late to rekindle the dying embers of his fame. His poetry is unquestionably not of the type which commands general appreciation, but he surely deserves to stand among the "poets´ poets," by the side of his friend Beddoes, whose genius he was one of the first to recognise. Darley published but little during his lifetime, and that little is now rarely to be met with, but within the last few years there have been two valuable reprints of some of his least accessible works. In 1890 Canon Livingstone, a kinsman of the poet, published a slender collection of Darley´s lyrical poems for private circulation, and two years later his pastoral play, "Sylvia; or, The May Queen," was reprinted under the careful editorship of Mr. J. H. Ingram. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
