GREAT ENGLISH POETS With a Critical Introduction and an Essay on the Reading of English Poetry by Sherwin Cody. 16mo, over 600 pages, printed on thin Bible paper, $1.00 net; delivered, $1.09. This volume does not conflict with any existing anthology, and it is marked by all the distinctive features which have made his other books so useful the helpful general introduction, the discerning comments on the work of the great poets, and the instinctive good taste and editorial sense shown in the selections. As to the point of view occupied by the Editor in making up the volume, this can be most interestingly presented by some extracts from his Preface: "This volume has been prepared from a different point of view from that which governed the preceding volumes in this series. To most of us poetry comes to have a very personal relation. I have not been able to put into this volume by any means all the poems I myself enjoy reading, and I know there are many others who will miss favorites. I have tried, however, to give a reasonable introduction to each of the great poets, and now and then a poem by some one who seems to have more fame as the author of this poem than as a poet in the poet's full character. "The introductions to the principal poets are more brief than I should have liked, and are intended chiefly to give the beginner the right point of view in taking up the study of a poet he has not yet learned to love. Great care has been taken to secure a perfect text. Every line has been compared word by word with the best standard editions." The Book is divided into Two Parts Part I is devoted to the following great poets, each introduced as a personal study and represented by the number of selections indicated by the figures in parentheses. Part II is devoted to great poems, representing sixty-four great poets, and special favorite poems, with notes and comments of a less formal kind. A. C.
