Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Public School Verse, 1919 1920: An Anthology This scheme originated with Mr. H. G. Pollard, to whom the Editors´ thanks are due: and it aims primarily at bringing into a larger circle of criticism, whether kind or harsh, and of a wider competition those writers who are most likely to take advantage, at a critical stage in their development, of such an opportunity. We have reluctantly refused several delightful verses from boys of ten or twelve as being outside our intention, and as belonging to childhood rather than boyhood: and we have had to sacrifice a good many poems that were partly good in order to maintain an absolute rather than a relative standard of excellence Some of the objections that have been raised Mr. John Masefield has answered in his introduction: the rest we hope will be dissipated by the quality and the spontaneity of the work itself. Our especial thanks are due to Mr. John Masefield, whose advice and help have been of the greatest value, and also to those Masters and Boys of various schools who have added to the material available, and helped in its selection: and to Headmasters and Editors of School Magazines in particular. It is hoped that a second volume may appear next year. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
