Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Era in American Poetry This volume, purporting to be a résumé of the principal forces and figures in what has been conceded to be America's most poetic period, is a collection of articles, reviews and digressions that have appeared during the last seven or eight years. It is scarcely, however, a complete file of statistics; it pretends to be neither an academic handbook nor the encyclopaedic result of a theory that has the strut of a finality. The standpoint chosen is generally a personal one, not the aloof and olympian attitude towards art which is so often supposed to represent the true poise of criticism. It is, what criticism sometimes happens to be, an explanatory if not a conclusive summary. And yet I hope it is something more than an annotated record of preferences and prejudices. I owe much to the many authors whose ready permission to quote has given this volume far greater authority than my own dubious dicta. I am also obligated for valuable aid to the courtesy of various publishers for permission to reprint poems which reinforce what critical value there may be in the text.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern American Poetry: An Anthology From 1866 to 1880 the United States was in a chaotic and frankly materialistic condition; it was full of political scandals, panics, frauds, malfeasance in high places. The moral fiber was flabby; the country was apathetic, cor rupt and contented. As in all such periods of national unconcern, the artists turned from life altogether, pre occupying themselves with the by-products of art: with method and technique, with elaborate and artificial con ceits, with facile ideas rather than fundamental ideals.

This book was released on 2017-01-08 with total page 998 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Harper's Cyclopaedia of British and American Poetry Poms have multiplied during the present century as at no previous period. Never was the accomplishment of verse so general as now. Weren't we in the luck of it, said Scott to Moore, to have come before all this talent was at work i If the remark was apt in their day, how much more so is it at the present time! Works in verse, that would have made a reputation a century ago, fall now almost unnoticed from the press. It is hard for the most diligent critic to keep pace with the fertility of our poets. The present compiler had despaired of doing this long before he had proceeded far in his labors. The consequence is that there have been omissions for which no better reason can be given than that they were unavoidable. An apology under such circumstances would be out of place. It cannot be overlooked, too, that much of the best poetry of recent times has been the product of feminine genius. The progress of women in enlarging the sphere of their occupations, and competing with the employments of the stronger sex, is repro sented in no department of intellectual work more signally than in verse. Every month new poetry, far above mediocrity, if not of really superior quality, is sent forth. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Masque of Poets: A Collection of New Poems by Contemporary American Poets But I think that America today reflects very much the same spirit of adventurous seeking that England knew more than three centuries ago, and that this spirit will not find its happiest fulfilment till it becomes less personal in its consciousness of a public, and more disinterested in its practice as an art. That the American poets who have contributed to "The Masque of Poets" are disinterested, is proven by their desire to remain anonymous when these poems were first published. Elizabethan poets sang out of pure joy and good fellowship, and the finest American achievement of the last decade has been born of similar joy and good fellowship. I should like to see American poetry published anonymously in such anthologies as this and left for judgment to the public irrespective of authors' signatures.

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.

And those who desire to follow far the keen study of poetic production are commended to such admirable works as Max Eastman's sympathetic treatise on The Enjoyment of Poetry, C. E.
