The Golden Treasury of American Songs and Lyrics (Classic Reprint)

Book Description
Excerpt from The Golden Treasury of American Songs and Lyrics Poets of America the names of over three hun dred native writers. American verse in the last half century has been extraordinarily prolific. It would seem that the time has come, in the course of our national literature, for proving all things and holding fast that which is good. The fact that the title of this compilation instantly calls to mind that of Mr. Palgrave's scholarly collee tion of English lyrics need not prove a disadvantage to the book if the purpose which led to the choice of name is understood. The verse of a single cen tury produced in a new country should not be expected to equal the poetic wealth of an old and intellectual nation. But if American poetry cannot hope to rival the poetry of the mother country, it may at least be compared with it; and the fact of such a comparative point of view will aid rather than hinder the student of our native poetry in estimating its value.

Book Description
Excerpt from History of American Verse (1610-1897) This outline may assist the reader to a more satisfac tory appreciation of this volume than he otherwise would have. Had Mr. Onderdonk lived to superintend the book's publication he would doubtless have revised and extended his notices of certain poets whom he briefly mentions in his concluding chapter. While I am aware that as these notices stand they are not altogether so full and explicit as their subjects deserve, yet they are as he wrote them, an inherent part of the volume, and therefore I have not felt at liberty to change them. For I am persuaded that however much the reader may dif fer from the author's estimate of a poet or a poem, all will applaud the spirit in which that estimate is con ceived and offered.

A Concise Treasury of Great Poems English and American

Pages : 580
Book Description
Excerpt from A Concise Treasury of Great Poems English and American: From the Foundations of the English Spirit to the Outstanding Poetry of Our Own Time; With Lives of the Poets and Historical Settings Selected and Integrated If poetry is the most potent of human communications, it should also be the simplest and the most logical expression. It should, some say, require no particular cogitation, no after thoughts, no exercise of the speculative mind. But poetry, being the product of intuition as well as experience, transcends plain statements; it surpasses fact and leaps ahead of logic. Simple arithmetic to the contrary, a poem is not the sum of its parts. A poem is greater than its parts; it is even something beyond its parts. It is prompted by an idea, enhanced by rhyme, pointed by meter, colored by metaphor. This fusion, this enrichment and intensification, has created a new thing: the poem itself, which is beyond analysis - even, at times, beyond logic.

The latter plan is wholly new and is, the author believes, the only method in which the interpretive value of early American verse can be fully realized. The artistic value of the verse of this period is. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from American Descriptive and Thoughtful Verse They seemed to come to me with hardly any effort of my own. The subject matter of the Descriptive verse was before my eyes, the verses written from time to time on little journeys or visits in Amercia, or at my own home at Awbury. He that hath eyes to see, let him see. The Thoughtful verse seemed to be given to me out of a clear sky - so that now I pass them on to others, feeling neither special pride nor responsibility, only hoping that there may be a few of the passing or future generation who will be old-fashioned enough to enjoy them, as I have in receiving them.
