Synopsis
Excerpt from Introductions to the Poets
IN the following introductions to the Poets the Author lays no great claim to originality. As Hon. Secretary of a Literary Society started for the encouragement of those who cared for poetry and wished to improve their acquaintance with it, he thought that it would greatly add to the usefulness of the friendly afternoon meetings in one another's houses if each first reading of a Poet's works were prefaced by some account of the Poet himself, his life and circumstances, and the his tory of his work. These accounts are in most cases a digest of what had been already published by various writers, with such added criticism as seemed likely to be of use or interest. And they are usually short, as the writer always felt that he was somewhat tyrannically taking up the time of the Members whose object was to read or listen to'the poems selected and discuss them afterwards.
