Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poets of America From the beginning of the present reign. The scheme of the Victorian Poets included, besides an extended review of acknowledged leaders, a concise analysis of groups forming the general choir of the period represented. The work thus became somewhat complete in scope, and doubtless has served as a critical handbook and means of reference. This incidental result, however, was quite subordinate to the author's main design; and I think that such a fact was evident not only to a professional class, but to all readers interested concerning the spirit and methods of poetry, - especially of our English song. To that design I wish shortly to refer, as it is the chief motive of the present volume also. But first I would reproduce a statement made in the Preface to the former work, viz., that the author originally had under taken to write upon the poets of this country and the causes of their successes and failures; that on examina tion he had found modern and radical changes in the conditions affecting ideal effort, at home and abroad.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poems of American History The thread of narrative upon which the poems have been strung together has been made as slight as possible, just strong enough to carrv the reader understandingly from one poem to the next. The notes, too, have been limited to the explanation of such allusions as are not likely to be found in the ordinary works of reference, with here and there an account of the circumstances which caused the lines to be written, or an indication of source, where the source is unusual. Every available source has been drawn upon the works of all the better known and many of the minor American and English poets, anthologies, newspaper collections, magazines, collec tions of Americana and especially of broadsides in a word, American and English poetry generally.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Poets of America: With Occasional Notes They are generally simple and unpretending in ornament, quiet and unambitious in tlieir spirit. The poetiy of devotion is the rarest of all poetry. Il is sad to tliiuk how few, of all the poets in the Eng ish language, have possessed or exhibited the Christian character, or had the remembrance of their names associated with the thoughts of Chiist and his cross, or the feelings to which the great theme of redemption gives rise in the bosom of the Cliristian. We may find plenty of tlie sentimentahty of rehgion, expressed, too, m beautiful language but as cold as a whiter nights transitory fi ost-work on our windows. A few beloved volumes, mdeed, have theuplace in the heart; but they are few; and of these the praise belongs not exclusively to the genius of poetiy, but to a far more precious and elevated spuit the spuit of the Bible. What bosom, tliat possesses tliis, does not contain the germ of deep poetiy? What poet has experienced its influence, whoso song does not breathe an echo of the melodies of paradise? Ill the tiTje minstrelsy of devotion, there is a higher excellence tlian that of mere genius. Poetiy herself acKnowledges a power which is not mher, and obsei-ves a deep and subhme emotion excited, wliich she cannot, unassisted, produce or maintain in the souls of her hstenei s.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from One Hundred Best American Poems This grouping of American poems had its rise in the welcome accorded to a little volume entitled "The Hundred Best English Poems," issued by the same publishers. To select one hundred examples from the best work by our American poets, excluding all living authors, and avoiding an undue proportion of pieces by the few acknowledged to be preeminent, has been a puzzling although a pleasant task. Of course, no two editors would select the same hundred pieces from the sixty-four poets here represented. Any one familiar with our poetical literature will miss here certain favorites, and perhaps would criticize some of the selections. This is inevitable. It is not always the most finished art which expresses feelings and "thoughts that shall live within the general mind."
