Five centuries of English verse
The review from Amazon.com reviewer
I agree that this is as close to the book in the movie dead poets society as you can get. Actually, there are two volumes. The first volume is chaucer to burns, and the second volume is wordsworth to tennyson. They are amazing books with fantastic impressions written by william stebbing. these are of course revised editions from his earlier book the poets:chaucer to tennyson impressions which is from 1907 or 1909 i believe.
these two volumes were rather difficult for me to find, but i have a copy of both volumes in great condition, so I'm sure there are more out there somewhere. stebbing has a keen understanding of the differences in poetry and poets alike. just his introduction will illustrate that.
i would suggest starting with his earlier impressions, but either way, they are very good reads for any poetry lover. i myself will be looking for original copies of his earlier impressions as I can only find recently re-published versions.
Product description
If you HATE the book with strange characters, introduced typographical errors, and jumbled words, this book is for you.
We don't use OCR'd book technology (Optical character recognition, usually abbreviated to OCR, is the mechanical or electronic translation of scanned images of handwritten, typewritten or printed text into machine-encoded text) to make the kindle version but we bring to you by THE SCANNING OR PHOTOGRAPH PROCESS. So everything you see here is almost same as original version. It may have occasional imperfections such as missing or blurred, errant marks, etc. that were either part of the original artifact.
We hope you enjoy and are satisfied with our book. For more interesting books, please search for ‘AMA publication’.
