Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of English Poetry, Vol. 3 In the first volume of this History I expressed the hope that my work might be completed by the close of the last century. I have observed without surprise that by my failure to make good this anticipation I have exposed myself to some, perhaps not unmerited, reproach. But I venture to think I am not without excuse. Had it indeed been my purpose to make this History a mere record of biographical facts and isolated studies of individual poets, I might have been able to perform what I promised. But to accomplish the task that I have proposed to myself - namely, to trace through our poetry the growth of the national imagination, and to estimate the place occupied by each poet in a continuous movement of art - steady concentration of thought is required; and here circumstances have been against me. For to say nothing of my official duties, my election in 1895 to the Chair of Poetry at Oxford, which I could not have foreseen when making my first calculations, turned the thoughts of my leisure hours in a different direction, and it was not until the close of 1900 that I was able to resume my interrupted work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English History Told by English Poets It is hoped that this volume will find a place as a reading-book in connection with the study of English history. Poets are spirited historians; they enlist imagination and sympathy in the cause of the fading past. They turn the task of memory to pastime. They are not always accurate, but neither are more sedate chroniclers. The dulness of a record was never yet proof of its veracity. The London populace of Elizabethan times learned English history from the stage. The reigns of the Plantagenets, the Wars of the Roses, and the reigns of the Tudors were set forth in a long series of chronicle plays and historical dramas. In these, as in the lyrics and ballads that more commonly express the Stuart reigns, the tendency is to concentrate attention on royal and noble personages rather than on the life of the nation as a whole.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of English Poetry, Vol. 1 of 3: From the Close of the Eleventh to the Commencement of the Eighteenth Century HE Edition of 1824, in four volumes octavo, which has for some time been out of print, and upon which the present is founded, has been generally esteemed for its correctness, and for a valuable body of materials for the illustration of the work collected by Mr. Park, including numerous manuscript notes by Ritson, Ashby, Douce, and other eminent antiquaries*, but especially on account of the important corrections and additions made by its much-lamented Editor, Mr. Richard Price; for whom, though his name did not appear on its publication, it deservedly obtained considerable reputation. With regard to what he contributed under the head of addi tions, may be mentioned in particular his notes, or rather essays, on the Lais of Marie de France, on the Saxon Ode on the Victory of Athelstan, on the Romance of Sir Tristram, on the Visions of Piers Plouhman, and his learned Preface, in which is con tain ed a very interesting view of the inquiries that form the subjects of Warton's work, the manner in which he has treated them, their progress since the publication of his work, and of the controversies to which it gave rise. The corrections made by Mr. Price must be considered also as having added much to the value of the edition; both those which apply to errors in War ton's glossarial notes, and those which resulted from a collation of many of the specimens with manuscripts in the British Museum or editions of acknowledged fidelity. The latter, from the great carelessness of Warton as a transcriber, were very numerous, and not less important, many passages having been rendered quite unintelligible from errors in copying.
