The list of poets represented in this volume totals over 400 (including Byron, Keats, Chaucer, Milton, Blake, Tennyson, Whittier, Longfellow, Emerson, Poe, Whitman, Barrett, Browning and many more), with 1,500 selections from their works, some in their entirety, others excerpted carefully for the fullest expression of the author's intent. And to enhance the words themselves, there is a selection of steel engraved portraits, wood engravings of several poems, and several facsimiles or original manuscripts. A unique treasury of the music of poetry.
