Excerpt from A Study of English and American Poets: A Laboratory MethodThe kindly reception accorded to the author's Study of English Prose Writers, published in 1898, seems to warrant the appearance of this complementary volume, which was foreshadowed in the preface to the Prose Writers. As the method involved is somewhat distinctive, it seems wise to make some repetitions from that preface. A certain amount of repetition will be found, also, in the chapters on Milton, Lowell, and Holmes.It is generally admitted by teachers of English that, after one has learned to avoid the conimon violations of clearness, force, precision, and the other requisites of good style, he may best improve his own use of the mother-tongue by studying the English Classics. But how is one to study the English classics so as to obtain positive and appreciable results? This volume represents an attempt to answer that question so far as it applies to the poets concerned. Certainly, the question has not been answered satisfactorily by the numerous text-books on English literature nor by the countless editions of English classics with notes. To memorize biographical data or the generalities and negations of criticism, or to trace out Obscure allusions or doubtful meanings, is certainly not to study a writer in any broad or fruitful way. While the method here offered may not be ideal, it is not merely theoretical. It has been rigidly and continuously tested in the author's class-room during the last twelve years by means of a partially developed manuscript, printed privately for the use of his own pupils, and again in his published volume on the Prose Writers.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Not illustrated. 1907 Excerpt: ...rhyme, assonance and alliteration are forces, requisite components of high and ample harmony, witness once for all the divine passage which begins--' Five miles meandering with a mazy motion.'... Gycine's song flashes out like a visible sunbeam: it is one of the brightest bits of music ever done in words."--A. C. Swinburne. "Coleridge has taken the old ballad measure and given it, by an indefinable charm wholly his own, all the sweetness, all the melody and compass of a symphony.... The words seem common words enough, but in the order of them, in the choice, variety, and position of the vowel sounds, they become magical. The most decrepit vocable in the language throws away its crutches to dance and sing at his piping."--Lowell. "In his ' France "... freedom in artistic handling is at one with obedience to artistic law. Mr. Theodore Watts. has called attention to what he describes as its fluidity of metrical movement. 'The more billowy the metrical waves,' he says, 'the better suited they are to render the emotions expressed by the ode;' and he points out how in the opening stanza of 'France' the first metrical wave, after it has gently fallen at the end of the first quatrain, leaps up again on the double rhymes and goes bounding on, billow after billow, to the end of the stanza. The mastery of a prolonged period in lyrical poetry is rare even with great writers."--Edward Dowden. "For exquisite music of metrical movement and for imaginative phantasy... there is nothing in our language to be compared with ' Christabel' and ' Kubla Khan' and with the 'Rime of the Ancient Mariner.' "--Stopford Brooke. "It ' The Ancient Mariner ' has that rich, varied movement in the verse which gives a distinct idea of the lofty or ...
