Special 



In preparing this series, Professor Bronson is providing for college students and others 

 a more convenient and generally available selection of English poetry than has ever been 

 made before. When completed it will comprise four volumes. Volimie I will include Old- 

 English poems in translation, ]Middle-Engli5h poems, early drama, and old ballads; Volume II 

 will cover the Elizabethan and Caroline periods; Volume III will be devoted to the Restora- 

 tion and the eighteenth century; while Volume IV (now ready) covers the nineteenth century. 

 The volumes are being issued at intervals of about six months. 



The plan of "The Nineteenth Century" is thus described in the preface: 



% 



Authors and poems have been chosen both for 

 their merit and for their significance in the history 

 of English literature. The book is therefore not an 

 anthology, or collection of the best poems. It is a 

 collection of good poems that illustrate the different 

 periods and phases of the work of individual poets, 

 and the rise, growth, and decline of schools of poetry, 

 - , . - Entire poems have been given wherever that 

 was possible, and the bulk of the book is made up of 

 them. But in order to represent some authors at 

 all adequately it has been found necessary to admit 

 a limited number of extracts. The notes include 

 (i) explanations of words, allusions, etc., which the 

 average college student may find obscure; (2) state- 

 ments by the author or his friends which throw Hght 



s of American Literature 



on the meaning of a poem, or give circumstance 

 connected with the composition of it, or illustrate 

 the poet's method of work; (3) the poet's theory of 

 poetry and his philosophy of life, when these can be 

 given in his own words; (4) variant readings of a 

 few poems, such as "The Ancient ilariner" and 

 **The Palace of Art,'' the reworking of which has 

 special interest and significance; (5) quotations from 

 sources and parallel passages, or references to them, 

 to show the poet*s literary relationships and his way 

 of handling raw material; (6) extracts from con- 

 temporary criticisms on some of the leaders of new 

 literary movements. A selected bibliography, 

 adapted to the needs of undergraduates, follows the 

 notes.
