Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Songs of the South Choice Selections From Southern Poets From Colonial Times to the Present Day: With an Appendix of Brief Biographical Notes So far as the writer knows, this volume is the first of American anthologies devoted wholly to verses produced by Southern writers. There have been collections of the war poetry of the South, and there are others that deal with all forms of Southern literary talent; but the following pages are given over entirely to selections from the writings of those who have made contributions to American verse. Miss Clarke has made the collection with the industry and enthusiasm that are necessary to the success of such an undertaking, and her selections have been made with taste and judgment. She has had access to more than one private collection of verses by Southern writers, and has thus been able to embody here many lyrics that lived a brief and fugitive life in the newspapers of their time and were then forgotten. As must be the case with all anthologies, special in their purpose and limited in their scope, much will be found in this volume that cannot, in the highest sense, be characterized as poetry. This is inevitable. If the intention of the editor had been to preserve verses only of the highest order of merit, a very small volume would contain all that has been produced in the New World since its discovery. A few - a very few - American authors have produced poetry that carries with it the promise of permanency, - the flavor that is fragrant generation after generation.
