Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern American and British Poetry Since the chronological arrangement is, in spite of cer tain disadvantages, the only logical one, an arbitrary boundary has been fixed. Conceiving modern British poetry to begin after the fertile tennyson-browning rossetti-swinburne epoch, the year 1840 is made to act as dividing-line; any poet born before that date is ruthlessly excluded. In the case of American1 poetry, the line has been moved back ten years. Thus, by includ ing work of poets born in this country as early as 1830, a richer background has been given the poetry of our times; and, although some of the interval poets like Ald rich and Lanier could scarcely be considered modern, it is curious to see how wide and how completely the circle has swung since Walt Whitman startled the world with Leaves of Grass. The first part of this collection might well be called, American Poetry since'whitman for the poet who has often been called the godfather of the new generation ended one period and began another. It is a happy circumstance that this volume should begin with the poetry of Emily Dickinson (born 1830) whose work, printed for the first time after her death, was unknown as late as 1890 and unnoticed until several years later. For hers was a forerunner of the new Spirit - free in expression, unhampered in choice of subject, keen in psychology - to which a countryful of writers has responded. NO longer confined to London, Boston or New York as literary centers, the impulse to create is everywhere. There is scarcely a state, barely a town ship that has not produced its local laureate.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Verse: British and American In looking over the anthologies of poetry on the shelves of any well-equipped public library, one thinks of the rats that followed the Pied Piper. There are war poems, love poems, sad poems, funny poems, old poems, new poems, child poems, college poems, poems of the city, poems of the country - anthologies by tens and dozens. In the latest additions to these we take particular pride, for they represent the verse of our own age. Modern poetry is worth being proud of for at least two reasons. First, it appeals to many different types of people. Whether one is looking for poems that are heroic, fanciful, humorous, or thoughtful - poems on any subject from the steel industry to the immortality of the soul - poems of the loftiest imagination or the tenderest human interest - he will find his desires gratified. In no other period of English literature has poetry been so varied, so like an elaborate prism which flashes new beauty to each eye. For never before has it refracted the light of so many and such different personalities. It has been said that every one can write at least one good poem; and nowadays he can usually get it published. The name of our young poets is Legion. Moreover, many of our poets, even the best-known ones, have wide interests besides their poetry. They may be newpaper men, lawyers, college professors, army officers, social workers. The great emotional stimulus of the war drove vigorous, practical men and women of all ages and occupations to the discovery that poetry might be a solace and joy not only to the student or visionary, but to the average person.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Gallery of Famous English and American Poets IN the following pages we offer to our readers a col lection of beautiful passages from the English Poets. They are arranged in chronological order, and embody that technically modern period, from Thomson to our own time: we have included, also, with the renowned masters of English verse, a few of our own American poets, eminently worthy to appear in such a catalogue. Such a collection would, in itself, give value to this volume, but, to enhance its merits in an eminent degree, exquisite art has been brought into the service, in a manner as striking and beautiful as it is novel. In this respect, the work, it is thought, has no superior, if it even have a, rival. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Beauties of Modern British Poetry: Systematically Arranged In attempting to trace its origin, we are left without the guidance of authentic history, and carried, as becomes its own divine and ethereal spirit, into the remote ages of hoary anti quity, and the boundless regions of the imagination. So far back, however, as authentic history does go, we find it existing in great perfection. The records of inspiration furnish us with specimens 'of Poetry, the most ancient which have come down to us. The greater part of the book of Job, unquestionably one of the most ancient compositions in the world, the Song of Moses and the Children of Israel on their deliverance from Pharaoh 'and the Red Sea, and the Song of Deborah, not to come farther down, exhibit specimens of Poetry which, inde pendently of their divine inspiration, are unrivalled for their p't1rit'y, beauty, and sublimity.

A few of the poets included have been writing for a quarter of a century, and were, therefore, among the immediate successors of the New England group, but many have done their work within the past decade and the volume as a Whole represents the twentieth-century spirit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Complete Dictionary of Poetical Quotations: Comprising the Most Excellent and Appropriate Passages in the Old British Poets; With Choice and Copoius Selections From the Best Modern British and American Poets About twenty years ago the plan was originated by John F. Addington, an English man, then residing in this city; but he devoted his attention almost exclusively to the old British Bards. His labours were valuable, still the work was incomplete; the modern writers of poetry, both English and American, with a few exceptions in favour of the former, were wholly omitted. Then his selections were not always in accordance with the present standard of public taste. The old dramatic poets wrote according to their light, which was often re ected through a foul medium, and revealed much that is now considered, and justly, too, as coarse and indelicate. The text of Mr. Addington's selections required revision; still, he deserves much credit for his perseverance and research, and the study he devoted to rescue from the reckless tooth of time some of the finest thoughts and most vivid images of the ancient fathers of English poetry. His selections from Shakspeare were c0pious 3 and also from Byron, the only modern poet that he much favoured.
