Excerpt from The Leading English Poets From Chaucer to Browning: Edited, With Introduction, Biographies, and GlossaryAny anthology involves judicious selection. That the present one will meet in all respects the varying judgments of all its readers is too much to expect. One person will criticize it for the amount of space devoted to Spenser as compared with that devoted to Chaucer, another will query why Herrick should be allotted so liberal a representation, a third, measuring the number of poems and pages given to the romantic authors, will accuse the editor of having yielded to the spell of the modern. Against such various lines of criticism the editor has little defense to o¿'er. He has tried, within the limits of a single volume, to present a collection of the best and most representative poems of the leading English poets from Chaucer to Browning. He has tried in his selection to approximate the general opinion of those worthiest to judge.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
