Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Book of Verse From Langland to Kipling: Being a Supplement to the Golden Treasury Years ago, before the war, the Delegates of the Clarendon Press invited me to add to my Book of Verse for Boys and Girls a fourth part designed for older pupils. At the time I demurred, fearing comparison with the Golden treasury. But now that the invitation has been renewed I have come to think that there may be room for a book which seeks not to rival but to supplement the Golden Treasury. The Golden Treasury is a collection of lyrics; and there are many non-lyrical poems in English that pupils would read as eagerly as the lyrics of the Golden Treasury if they were available in as handy a form. Therefore I have made this collection, and by this practical aim I would wish it to be judged. I have assumed that my readers possess the Golden Treasury, and possess it in the Oxford edition ´with additional poems´. I have kept off that ground altogether; and generally in the periods covered by the original Golden Treasury I have eschewed all lyrics, except two gems that Palgrave at first overlooked. In the later periods I have been less scrupulous, but always with a preference for non-lyrical poems if equally representative. I have also assumed that my readers will possess certain poems in separate editions, e.g. Chaucer´s Prologue, sundry plays of Shakespeare, Milton´s Comus and a book or two of Paradise Lost, with one of Scott´s longer poems, and perhaps The Rape of the Lock.
