Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from American British Verse: From the Yale Review Sometime during the past spring I was walking in London, and I happened to go into a bookshop devoted to the sale of poetry. The proprietor was overhauling his shelves, and as I chanced to know him personally, we fell into conversation. It appeared that he had on hand a number of books of poetry by American authors, which he had hitherto kept separate from the English product. He was now proposing to amalgamate them, by rearranging the entire collection alphabetically, under English poetry; a decision In which I entirely and whole-heartedly concurred. It has been too much the fashion recently to insist that American literature should be considered as something entirely separate from the literature of the British Isles. As John Macy once said, American literature is a branch of English literature. That is not a limitation; It Is a high title to glory. The American poets of to-day are just as truly the heirs of Chaucer and of Shakespeare as the English; the American novelists acknowledge their indebtedness to Defoe and Fielding. The roots of English literature are now planted on both sides of the Atlantic; doubtless the fruit will be diverse, but there is no reason why either country should find it bitter.
