Book Description
"Then Hêra, when she heard what Earth had given, Smiled for her joy, and longed and came to see: On dove wings flying from the height of heaven, Down to the golden tree: As tired birds at even Come flying straight to house On their accustomed boughs. 'Twas where, on tortured hands, Bearing the mighty pole. Devoted Atlas stands: And round his bowed head roll, Day-light and night, and stars unmingled dance, Nor can he raise his glance..." 'The Poetical Works of Robert Bridges, Excluding the Eight Dramas' is a collection of poems inspired by the tales of Greek mythology.

A Critical History of English Poetry
Author: Herbert Grierson
Publisher: A&C Black
ISBN: 1472509013
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 520
Book Description
This famous work was the result of the wartime collaboration of two Scottish scholars. Their tracing of the course of English poetry has been described by The Times Literary Supplement as a 'volume of masterly compression'. They deliberately spend most time on the greatest poets, believing that, significant as traditions and influences are, the great poet himself affects the spirit of his age and moulds the tradition he has inherited. At the same time, enough attention is paid to minor poets to make the book historically complete, and to fill in the most important links in the chain of poetic development. Thus Gower is here, as well as Chaucer; Patmore, as well as Browning. Both in scope and in detail A Critical History of English Poetry is a distinguished and valuable work.
