ENGLISH POEMS
Edited by EDWARD CHAUNCEY BALDWIN, Ph.D., and HARRY G. PAUL, A.M.,
Assistant Professors of English Literature in the University of Illinois.
This volume combines measurable completeness with an amount of editing sufficient for supplying needed help to the college student, and for furnishing material for class room work. In the selection of poems the primary aim has been to include the most representative work of the chief British poets, from Chaucer to Tennyson, with a view to presenting material which should also be representative of the successive periods of English literary history, and, within certain limitations, of the chief types of poetry. The notes are suggestive rather than informational, and, with the questions, are designed to stimulate thought. Bibliographies are included.
