Publisher's Synopsis
The aim of this pamphlet is to suggest various lines of organized study in the rich field of English lyric poetry, and to provide the more important references for students and readers beginning work along any of the lines suggested. For theory and analysis chapters I, IV, and V may, it is hoped, provide a starting-point; for the study of the history of the kind and of the work of specific lyric poets chapters II and III; for the special study of selected poems in the class-room or in the closet chapters VI and VII, with the help of many references and topics under III and IV.In its present form it is designed partly as a trial-list, and the compiler will gratefully receive corrections, additions, and suggestions from readers, teachers, and students.
