Book Synopsis Poems of American History (Classic Reprint) by : Burton Egbert Stevenson
Download or read book Poems of American History (Classic Reprint) written by Burton Egbert Stevenson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-25 with total page 756 pages. 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 Synopsis One Hundred Best American Poems (Classic Reprint) by : John Raymond Howard
Download or read book One Hundred Best American Poems (Classic Reprint) written by John Raymond Howard and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 336 pages. 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."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The First American, and Other Poems Friend and brother Speak the words so low And whisper them in halls where he was dear. Passing in a grove where fragrant cheer Of owers manifold at twilight's glow Hushes the air with calm so sweet, so slow That softly we walk on nor dread the drear Beyond, so his life frees us from our fear And bids us onward till the light we know. Though Death's dark asterisk had marked his name, Life with the golden pen of deeds that are And skill immortal, underneath Death's frown Gilded that spot with such effulgent ame That now it gleams, a glory-giving star, And beckons on to service and renown.my lady OF all saints.

Dumb are those names, erewhile in battle loud; Dream-footed, as the shadow of a cloud, They flit across the ear; That is best blood that hath most iron in 't To edge resolve with, pouring without stint For what makes manhood dear. Tell us not of Plantagenets, Hapsburgs, and Guelphs, whose thin bloods crawl Down from some victor in a border brawl! How poor their outworn coronets, Matched with one leaf of that plain civic wreath Our brave for honor's blazon shall bequeath, Through whose desert a rescued Nation sets Her heel on treason, and the trumpet hears Shout victory, tingling Europe's sullen ears With vain resentments and more vain regrets!

Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Poems: 1776-1922, With Notes and Biographies The purpose of this volume is not to thrust upon the public another anthology which, after decorating the drawing-room table a few days at Christmas, shall go to rest under the dust on the top shelf. On the contrary, it is intended to serve in the hands of students as a useful collection of American verse, with notes of explanation and interpretation, which shall illustrate the growth and spirit of American life as expressed in its literature. Moreover, it Should, by giving new perceptions of power and beauty, lift the spirit and increase the sum of human enjoyment. Literature is the record of the best thoughts, says Emerson; and the best thoughts of the best Americans are most assuredly 'worthy of careful study.

Book Synopsis Poets of America (Classic Reprint) by : Edmund Clarence Stedman
Download or read book Poets of America (Classic Reprint) written by Edmund Clarence Stedman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-16 with total page 548 pages. 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.
