Payne, William Morton. Greater English poets of the nineteenth century. **$2. Holt.
7–32172.
A study of a group of English writers including Keats, Shelley, Byron, Coleridge, Wordsworth, Landor, Browning, Tennyson, Arnold, Rossetti, Morris and Swinburne. The aim of the work is not to consider these men in their characters as poetic artists so much as to view them in their relations to the world of thought and action, to examine their poetry with respect to intellectual content, to set forth their ideas upon religious and philosophic subjects, and to discuss their attitude toward the political and social conditions of their time.
“They deserve wide reading.”

“His best chapters are on Tennyson, Browning, and Arnold; the treatment of Coleridge and Morris cannot be regarded as adequate.”
