Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Studies in Medieval and Modern History
In the ranks Of the great poets, three men stand conspicuous and alone. With their heads among the stars, to their serene and lonely height no others may venture to climb. By the most enduring and final of tests, a constant ly growing appreciation of their work, centuries after their times and ages have passed away, Homer, Shakespeare and Dante seem assured of a world-embracing and undying fame.
NO three men can be named more utterly un like. Each, in a large measure, was the product of his age and Of his environment, acting upon a genius, heaven-born, which once perhaps in a millennium is sent among men.
