About this title

Synopsis

This selection includes the Songs of the Fleet, Drake's Drum, He Fell among Thieves and nearly all the rest of the stirring patriotic verse for which Sir Henry Newbolt's name is remembered, together with some of his less well-known work, after French and Latin originals."Newbolt's poetry is easy to understand, rhythmical and full of memorable lines...a fastidious, sensitive writer who could put his whole soul into a poem without being in the least self-conscious" - From the Introduction by John Betjeman.
