Présentation de l'éditeur
English poetry, from the days of Spenser and Shakespeare to our own time. Pausing in these early years of a new century, with the songs of living poets in the air, he can look back as through a long vista over the way he has come. There are a few priceless things that cannot be too often seen or too well known; the familiar makes its peculiar appeal, as well as the novel, and if there is an exhilaration in making a new friend, there is also a gentler and perhaps a deeper satisfaction in finding an old one. Here the reader travels down the middle of the highway, resisting many temptations to turn aside and explore the less trodden ways that branch off here and there on either hand; he passes many a retreat where he might profitably linger, yet, keeping to the main track, he welcomes much that is endeared by long association, and he sees, perhaps more clearly, the course and changing character of that great spiritual thoroughfare, spanning both time and space, which is built to music and of music and therefore built forever.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a diverse collection of English verse spanning centuries, curated with a focus on both individual excellence and historical significance. The earliest poems, such as the haunting ballad "Chevy Chase," hint at the rich tapestry of oral tradition that preceded the development of written English literature. The collection also underscores the significance of the Elizabethan era, represented by sonnets from the likes of Sidney, Daniel, and Shakespeare, as well as alluring lyrics by Lyly, Greene, and Marlowe. The 17th century is well represented by the metaphysical conceits of Donne and Herbert, while the 18th century's Age of Reason finds voice in the satires of Pope and the meditative verse of Thomson. Later entries, like those by Blake, Burns, Wordsworth, and Keats, showcase the Romantic era's emphasis on emotion, imagination, and nature. This anthology offers a sweeping journey through English poetry, tracing its evolution from its ancient roots to its modern manifestations. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
