ton E. Stevenson. Collects the best short poetry of the
English language--not only the poetry everybody says is good, but also
the verses that everybody reads. (3742 pages; India paper, 1 vol., 8vo,
complete author, title and first line indices, $7.50 net; carriage 40
cents extra.)
The most comprehensive and representative collection of American and
English poetry ever published, including 3,120 unabridged poems from
some 1,100 authors.
It brings together in one volume the best short poetry of the English
language from the time of Spencer, with especial attention to American
verse.
The copyright deadline has been passed, and some three hundred recent
authors are included, very few of whom appear in any other general
anthology, such as Lionel Johnson, Noyes, Housman, Mrs. Meynell, Yeats,
Dobson, Lang, Watson, Wilde, Francis Thompson, Gilder, Le Gallienne, Van
Dyke, Woodberry, Riley, etc., etc.
The poems are arranged by subject, and the classification is unusually
close and searching. Some of the most comprehensive sections are:
Children's rhymes (300 pages); love poems (800 pages); nature poetry
(400 pages); humorous verse (500 pages); patriotic and historical poems
(600 pages); reflective and descriptive poetry (400 pages). No other
collection contains so many popular favorites and fugitive verses.
