Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Poet: A Metrical Romance of the Seventeenth Century The good old school of English Poetry, is rich in materials, calculated alike to please the imagination and touch the heart. There is a beauty and freshness about the compositions of the age of Elizabeth and the Stuarts, arising not so much from any novelty in the thoughts, - though this is one of their distinguishing excellencies, as from that naïvele of expression, which throws around them an indescribable charm, and from their faithful adherence to nature and truth. From this rich mass of poetry several valuable selections have been made, which are favorably known to the public. Still it appeared to the selector of the materials here offered to the reader, that the field was not entirely gleaned; that enough was still left to repay the trouble of research. Under another point of view, also, it seemed that a new selection might be made, surpassing, perhaps, in interest many that had preceded it. Works of this kind have generally been formed of heterogeneous materials. The reader is rapidly hurried from scene to scene; his attention is fatigued, his expectation disappointed, and he is soon disposed to close the volume, distracted by a succession of subjects that present no moral connexion. It was thought that these defects might be avoided, by weaving together such portions of these varied materials as were calculated to form one connected whole.
