Book excerpt: Excerpt from English History Told by English Poets It is hoped that this volume will find a place as a reading-book in connection with the study of English history. Poets are spirited historians; they enlist imagination and sympathy in the cause of the fading past. They turn the task of memory to pastime. They are not always accurate, but neither are more sedate chroniclers. The dulness of a record was never yet proof of its veracity. The London populace of Elizabethan times learned English history from the stage. The reigns of the Plantagenets, the Wars of the Roses, and the reigns of the Tudors were set forth in a long series of chronicle plays and historical dramas. In these, as in the lyrics and ballads that more commonly express the Stuart reigns, the tendency is to concentrate attention on royal and noble personages rather than on the life of the nation as a whole.

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 A Household Book of English Poetry The first question which I asked myself, when I resumed a purpose long ago entertained, and then for a long while laid aside, of publishing such a selection of English Poetry as the present, was this, namely, whether Mr. Palgrave by his Golden Treasury had not so occupied the ground that there was no place for one who should come after. The selection is one made with so exact an acquaintance with the sources from which such a Trea sury as his should be replenished, with so fine a taste in regard of what should be admitted there, that this was the conclusion to which at the first I was disposed to arrive. But on further consideration I saw reason to change my mind. The volume which I meditated was on so different a scheme and plan from his, that, while no doubt I should sometimes go over ground which he had gone over before, it seemed likely that for the most part our paths would be different, and the poems which I should select not identical with those already chosen by him. This to so great an extent has proved the case, that of more than three hundred pieces which compose this volume, less than sixty have appeared in his. And.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Poetry and Poets N the hope that a work undertaken Without the remotest View to publication, but for the com paratively ephemeral purpose of imparting oral in formation and entertainment, may prove permanently valuable, I commit to print the result of much delightful reading, with some loving and earnest (though far from scholarly) original criticism. In my eager and various reading I quoted and transposed - for the benefit of my classes in English Poetry - from many authors. It did not then seem necessary to retain in memory all the sources of my information; consequently I cannot now duly accredit some of my borrowings. In a work like this, such an Offence may, I trust, be forgiven. Where much learned and able work has been done by my betters, I have not hoped to excel; but if I may help to foster a love and appreciation of the good and true in English verse, I shall have attained to my highest end and ambition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of English Literature The Beginnings of English Literature. The Difficulties attend ing them. The Advisability of taking Chaucer as our Starting Point. The Necessity of Knowing the Outlines of Earlier Days before even Chaucer is attempted. English literature may be said to begin with some fragments of poetry that date back as far as the fourth century; and, for the ten centuries following, our literature is extremely difficult to understand, because it is written either in Anglo Saxon, or else in one of the dialects of Middle English. It took a thousand years for English literature to develop properly; and we do not come across any author who can be easily mastered until we arrive at the middle of the fourteenth century. Then we find Geoffrey Chaucer one of the greatest of our poets, who died in the year 1400. We cannot, however, properly appreciate even his work unless we know something of the condition of English between the fourth and the fourteenth centuries; and this knowledge we must try to obtain by learning a little about the principal things that happened to the language before Chaucer's time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early English Poems: Selected and Edited This change of attitude, which might be illustrated by many similar examples, is assuredly a sign of progress. It is no depreciation of the labor of the scholar, but rather an evidence of its value. It is plain that the researches of the specialist in these fields, minute and contracted as they may have some times seemed, have had a wider influence, a more general significance, than might at first have been supposed. It is plain that these intensive students of the life, language, and literature of early England may be justly compared to those adventurers who press on in the van of immigration, and so open up to civilization regions hitherto inaccessible, or but sparsely settled. In this work of reclamation the translator as well as the pioneer scholar has his place and office. It is better, of course, to read this early literature in the language in which it was written, than to read it in translation, but it is better to read it in a translation, or in a modernized form, than not to read it at all. We may regret that Keats could not read the Iliad in Greek, and we may be thankful at the same time that he did read it in English.

To their keeping were entrusted the history and records of their nation and people, which they were required to religiously preserve and hand down to posterity with scrupulous fidelity. In order to ensure this fidelity in the absence of written documents, the facts were em bodied in such a form that the ring of the words, the jingle of the lines, and a certain alliteration and rhyme, should help the memory to retain the impression. For this reason, therefore, nearly all the early British litera ture, especially the historical, is in verse, and devoted to the recounting of the deeds of warriors renowned in battle. After the introduction of Christianity, the Scripture narrative offered fit subjects, which were treated in the same manner.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poetry of Empire: Nineteen Centuries of British History "And the cry of the two hosts went up through the higher air to the splendour of Zeus." So wrote Homer of the glorious warfare by the Scamander; and it is often the curse of war more than the blessing of peace that lifts the commonplace to the atmosphere of the sublime. Warfare between Roman and Briton, between Celt and Saxon, Englishman and Scot, Irishman and Englishman, bitter civil warfare, - all these have helped to make our nation what it is. The story of a nation is always a story of bloodshed; many a time and oft of blood that has been wrongfully and wastefully shed. In times of peace national growth continues - as grows a coral reef - quietly, persistently; but it is the God of Battles who moulds peoples, and they are not days of prosperous commercialism, but days of storm and stress, that bring out what is best in the children of men. The Poetry of the British Empire has many a gallant tale to tell of fights by land and by sea, for without much fighting, fighting not only with men, but with the elements, with the very forces of Nature, there can be no Empire making. In this Anthology the compilers have endeavoured to give as far as possible in verse form a Chronological History of the British Nation. There are those who find fault with the idea of an Imperial Anthology including poems descriptive of incidents which took place before the peoples of Great Britain were welded into one.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Poets and the National Ideal: Four Lectures The four lectures which comprise this volume were delivered during the winter before a familiar audience. They make no pretension to scholarship, and were not written with a view to publication. But in the present crisis the humblest citizen is anxious to contribute, as best he can, to the service of his country; and the student of English literature can perhaps do no better than help to set in circulation those ideas and emotions which have stirred our greatest poets in periods of national stress, and made them the mouthpiece of the finest spirit of their times. What they wrote, each for his own age, has lost little of its value; for much as we need to-day all the physical and material strength that we can command, we need still 'more ideas and inspiration and our patriotism will be both wiser and more devoted if we learn to draw upon the immense spiritual resources of our poetry, which are not the least glorious nor the least precious part of our heritage as Englishmen. It is in the hope that these lectures, despite their obvious limita tions, may awaken a few readers to a fuller sense of that heritage and all that it implies, that I have decided to publish them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Songs, and Other Small Poems "Barry Cornwall, with the exception of Coleridge, is the most genuine poet of love, who has, for a long period, appeared among us. There is an intense and passionate beauty, a depth of affection, in his little dramatic poems, which appear even in the affectionate triflings of his gentle characters. He illustrates that holiest of human emotions, which, while it will twine itself with the frailest twig, or dally with the most evanescent shadow of creation, wasting its excess of kindliness on all around it, is yet able to 'look on tempests and be never shaken.' Love is gently omnipotent in his poems; accident and death itself are but passing clouds, which scarcely vex and which cannot harm it. The lover seems to breathe out his life in the arms of his mistress, as calmly as the infant sinks into its softest slumber. The fair blossoms of his genius, though light and trembling at the breeze, spring from a wide, and deep, and robust stock, which will sustain far taller branches without being exhausted."
