Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Modern British Verse This little collection is intended to present to Ameri can readers the character of contemporary British verse. The period has now definitely assumed the name of -georgian. It began with J'ohn Masefield and has grown into the newer blossoming of Seigfried Sassoon, Robert Graves, and Robert Nichols. The late petals of the Victorian ower began to droop under the reign of Edward VII. They dropped to the ground at the first touch of the frosty truth in the sub stance, and the converting concreteness in the expres sion, of The Everlasting Mercy and The Widow in the Bye Street. The new era began with an as sault upon reality and a shock of symbols. And upon it descended the con agration of the world. The sow ing was turned to the surface by a world war. The re-sowing began in the trenches: the first fruits of which are beautiful to the eye but bitter to the taste. What the'full harvest will be no one can say, because the present bad weather of social, economic, and polit ical turmoil is raging over the fields of dream.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Verse: British and American In looking over the anthologies of poetry on the shelves of any well-equipped public library, one thinks of the rats that followed the Pied Piper. There are war poems, love poems, sad poems, funny poems, old poems, new poems, child poems, college poems, poems of the city, poems of the country - anthologies by tens and dozens. In the latest additions to these we take particular pride, for they represent the verse of our own age. Modern poetry is worth being proud of for at least two reasons. First, it appeals to many different types of people. Whether one is looking for poems that are heroic, fanciful, humorous, or thoughtful - poems on any subject from the steel industry to the immortality of the soul - poems of the loftiest imagination or the tenderest human interest - he will find his desires gratified. In no other period of English literature has poetry been so varied, so like an elaborate prism which flashes new beauty to each eye. For never before has it refracted the light of so many and such different personalities. It has been said that every one can write at least one good poem; and nowadays he can usually get it published. The name of our young poets is Legion. Moreover, many of our poets, even the best-known ones, have wide interests besides their poetry. They may be newpaper men, lawyers, college professors, army officers, social workers. The great emotional stimulus of the war drove vigorous, practical men and women of all ages and occupations to the discovery that poetry might be a solace and joy not only to the student or visionary, but to the average person.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Key to Modern British Poetry This book, now divided for the sake of convenience into essays, is not one which I would have written for choice. It was composed and delivered as a series of lectures on modern poetry during the course of my duties as a lecturer in English Literature attached to the British Council in Argentina during 1948. The present text, which has hardly been altered at all, is what typographers would call a 'mock-up' for the lectures which were designed to appeal to an audience of graduate teachers in English, gathered from the various universities of Argentina.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Beauties of Modern British Poetry: Systematically Arranged To the question - What is Poetry? - various answers have been given. By some, its essence has been said to consist in imitation; and, by others, in fiction. But these qualities, though very common and important, are neither necessary nor exclusive elements in its composition; for, imitation properly belongs only to one department of it - the Dramatic - and truth and reality may be the materials of the purest Poetry; while the humblest Prose may, and frequently does, embrace fiction and imitation. The close affinity between Poetry and Eloquence, or highly impassioned Prose, renders it difficult, if not impossible, to point out exactly the line of demarcation between them, or to give a definition of the former so comprehensive as to embrace all that really belongs to it, and at the same time so restrictive as to exclude what lies beyond its legitimate bounds. By Dr. Blair, it has been defined "the language of passion, or of enlivened imagination, formed, most commonly, into regular numbers." But whatever difficulty there may be in giving an abstract definition of Poetry, its difference from Prose is sufficiently marked to be felt and recognised by any one not void of judgment or sensibility.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern American and British Poetry Since the chronological arrangement is, in spite of cer tain disadvantages, the only logical one, an arbitrary boundary has been fixed. Conceiving modern British poetry to begin after the fertile tennyson-browning rossetti-swinburne epoch, the year 1840 is made to act as dividing-line; any poet born before that date is ruthlessly excluded. In the case of American1 poetry, the line has been moved back ten years. Thus, by includ ing work of poets born in this country as early as 1830, a richer background has been given the poetry of our times; and, although some of the interval poets like Ald rich and Lanier could scarcely be considered modern, it is curious to see how wide and how completely the circle has swung since Walt Whitman startled the world with Leaves of Grass. The first part of this collection might well be called, American Poetry since'whitman for the poet who has often been called the godfather of the new generation ended one period and began another. It is a happy circumstance that this volume should begin with the poetry of Emily Dickinson (born 1830) whose work, printed for the first time after her death, was unknown as late as 1890 and unnoticed until several years later. For hers was a forerunner of the new Spirit - free in expression, unhampered in choice of subject, keen in psychology - to which a countryful of writers has responded. NO longer confined to London, Boston or New York as literary centers, the impulse to create is everywhere. There is scarcely a state, barely a town ship that has not produced its local laureate.
