Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of Poetry The contents of this volume originally formed part of a course of lectures which were given some four years ago in connection with the Cambridge University Extension, and afterwards before an English audience at Dresden. The interest which the subject elicited on these occasions has made me venture to hope that a few readers may be found, no less sympathetic and indulgent than my former hearers. I have left almost everything as it was written, instead of attempting to recast the whole into what might be thought a form more suitable for publication, although I am aware that much which in a lecture may be allowable, and even attractive, is apt to appear crude, superficial, and incoherent in a book. I trust that the didactic and familiar tone, which one naturally assumes as a lecturer, will not be. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
