NEW AND RECENT POETRY.
A MINOR POET: And other Verses. By Amy Levy. Crown 8vo., paper board style, uncut edges. 3s. 6d.
“A distinct advance in power on Miss Levy’s former verse. . . . It will be hard if her verse does not win many friends by its sympathy and tenderness.”—Cambridge Review.
“Some of her more ambitious pieces remind one of George Eliot’s poems.”—St. James’s Gazette.
“Her idea of the character of ‘Xantippe’ is certainly original, and several of her shorter pieces are simple, heartfelt, and harmonius.”—Whitehall Review.
“Deserves to be singled out from the mass of every-day verse for special commendation. The book is very much above the average of such productions.”—Derby Mercury.
MEASURED STEPS. By Ernest Radford. Crown 8vo., cloth. 4s.
“He is very happy in his ‘Translations from Heine,’ fully entering into the poet’s humour, and deftly reproducing the half-sarcastic, half-pathetic spirit in which Heine so often wrote.”—Whitehall Review.
“Mr. Radford is himself a poet of no mean ability, and with a good deal of Heine in his composition.”—Sheffield Independent.
“He has imported into his deeper verse the beauty of a half-regretful subtlety and the interest of a real penetration. He can think with fineness and record his thoughts with point.”—Frederick Wedmore, in The Academy.
