Book excerpt: Excerpt from English History in Verse A volume of moderate compass which illustrates from English Poetry many of the principal events of the History of England should be of great service, especially to the young. Herein the student gets the facts which have built up England as it is to-day, dealt with in a picturesque manner. The story of a nation's life as seen by the Poet must always be fascinating, and serve to make the men and actions of the past live again with a reality that prose cannot equally impart. Such inaccuracies as are to be found in some of the poems and ballads given in this volume are more than balanced by the manner in which the writers portray the spirit animating the times with which they are concerned, and the passions which called forth the character and heroism which they vividly describe. I believe that to the young this book will prove attractive that by means of it Teachers will find it a far easier task to awaken an intelligent interest in those wider fields of History upon which this volume makes no attempt to touch.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of England in Verse I have endeavoured in the following little work to render the acquisition of the material facts of English History more easy and pleasant than it had heretofore been - for the benefit, not solely of Examination Students, but also of all those whose position in society demands from them a general knowledge of this interesting subject. It is a matter of common observation that any bare isolated fact makes a far more lasting impression on the mind when clothed in simple rhyme than when drily detailed in prose. Nursery books, intended to teach children the rudiments of knowledge, are usually in rhyme: boys at school patch up, as it were instinctively, doggerel verses to commemorate the knotty points of their maturer studies; while, to candidates for the higher examinations, verse, however rough and simple, is an aid which has saved many an over-crammed brain from hopeless confusion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English History Told by English Poets It is hoped that this volume will find a place as a reading-book in connection with the study of English history. Poets are spirited historians; they enlist imagination and sympathy in the cause of the fading past. They turn the task of memory to pastime. They are not always accurate, but neither are more sedate chroniclers. The dulness of a record was never yet proof of its veracity. The London populace of Elizabethan times learned English history from the stage. The reigns of the Plantagenets, the Wars of the Roses, and the reigns of the Tudors were set forth in a long series of chronicle plays and historical dramas. In these, as in the lyrics and ballads that more commonly express the Stuart reigns, the tendency is to concentrate attention on royal and noble personages rather than on the life of the nation as a whole.
