Book Description
Excerpt from An Anthology of the Poetry of the Age of Shakespeare, Chosen and Arranged The Cambridge Anthologies are intended for the general reader, who, whilst he is familiar with the greater masters, has little leisure, and, it may be, little inclination, to become a professed student of literature. They seek to provide such a reader with first-hand knowledge of the literary atmosphere and social conditions in which these masterpieces were created. At present, this need is satisfied only by reference to histories of literature, which have too many pre-occupations to deal justly with it, or to authorities even less accessible. It is the object of this series to let each age speak for itself, and to give coherence and prominence to what seem to be its significant features. Thus, the thought, temper, manners and activities of the period of Shakespeare, which is the theme of the first two volumes, are exemplified in selections from contemporary poetry and prose. The former illustrates the literary interests, models and aspirations, as well as the lyrical and rhetorical quality of the time; the latter gives a picture of the Elizabethan Englishman, painted by himself, in pursuit of his business, sport or roguery. Volumes dealing in like manner with other periods will follow, and the series will include a history of English literature for general readers.

D And dick the Shepherd blows his nail, And tom bears logs into the hall, And milk comes frozen home in pail; When blood is nipped, and ways be foul Then nightly sings the staring Owl.

Book Description
Excerpt from At Shakespeare's Shrine: A Poetical Anthology This is not the first attempt to publish a poetical anthology of those who have paid tribute at Shake speare's Shrine. It is however, though far from complete, the most exhaustive work of its kind yet produced. And an effort has been made to give as representative a selection of poetic tributes from all ages down to the present, as the limits of the volume will permit. Though the information may surprise my readers it would be a comparatively easy task to compile a dozen similar volumes, and then only have touched the fringe of the mantle which clothes the memory of the greatest poet the world has ever known - the divine, the gentle, the immortal Shakespeare. Many of the verses in this volume have been specially composed for insertion herein, others have 'been sent in response to my request for Poems on Shakespeare' in that incomparable and eagerly-welcomed weekly, Notes and Queries, to the editor of which my cordial thanks are due. From the British Museum and the Shakespeare Memorial Library at Stratford on-avon, rare old broadsides and ballads have been unearthed and reprinted in the following pages, and for the kindly and generous assistance rendered to me by Mr. W. Salt Brassington, p.s.a. The Librarian of the latter mentioned place I acknowledge my great indebtedness.
