Synopsis
Excerpt from Poems of England: A Selection of English Patriotic Poetry
The poets from whom our selection is made range from Drayton to Tennyson, and cover more than three centuries. Something has been taken from the works of sixteen different poets, but more than half the book consists of poems by Shakespeare, Milton, Wordsworth, Scott, and Tennyson. For the most part the pieces included are complete poems; but in a few cases ex tracts have been made. Obviously nothing could be taken from Shakespeare in any other way. The passages selected will be found to lose but little by separation from their context.
