Pancoast's STANDARD ENGLISH POEMS 



From Spenser to Tennyson. 749 pp. i6mo. $1.50 net. 



Some 250 complete poems, besides selections from such long poems as 

 '* The Faerie Queene," "Childe Harold's Pilgrimage," etc. There are 

 19 pages of Ballads, 33 of Spenser, 22 of Elizabethan Songs and Lyrics, 16 

 of Elizabethan Sonnets, 51 of Seventeenth-Century Songs, 51 of verse from 

 Dryden to Thomson, 277 of verse from Thomson to Tennyson, and 100 of 

 Victorian verse, 164 of Notes (chiefly biographical and appreciative), and 

 an index of titles. 



New York Tribune :— " We believe it will be received cordially by all 

 Ijvers of poetry, whether elementary students or not. Basing his selec- 

 tions on the individual excellence and historic importance of the poems, 

 the editor has not allowed his fidelity to the latter test to overrule his 

 taste, and there is very little matter in the book which is historically 

 significant alone. First and last, this is an anthology of the best poetry." 



Prof. Henry A. Beers, of Yale, author of '■^ English Romanticism in the 

 Eighteenth Century,'''' etc.: — '* The collection seems to me in general 

 made with excellent judgment, and the notes are sensible, helpful, and 

 not too iveitldtifig.''^
