Excerpt from Critical Essays on Poetry, Etc [The first of these essays was first published in No. 104 of the "Quarterly Review" (December, 1834); the second in No. 137 (December, 1841); the third in No. 143 (May, 1843). They were re-published in 1849, with the preface now again prefixed to them: and by a singular coincidence the political crisis in France which, according to the preface, prompted their republication in 1849, is repeating itself now in December, 1877; not, of course, with the elements unchanged, whether or not it may be with the line issues.] About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Poetry and Fiction: Essays Criticism, in whatever fancy dress, however, remains an art of opinion, and though the Opinion should be supported by evidence, even that relation is a questionable one. Criticism is not knowledge, but neither ought it to be mystique, even if the sources of our opinions, and the influence of fashion upon these, are mysterious subjects. Whether the writings in this book succeed as criticism is not for me to say, but perhaps it is fair for me to set forth briefly a few of the objects I tried to keep in mind. Critical method. To try not to have one. Or to have, at the most, two simple precepts: read what is in the poem; do not read what is not in the poem. To give evidence for assertions, so that the reader may have a way of knowing when his author has gone badly wrong.

Excerpt from The Poets and Poetry of Ireland: With Historical and Critical Essays and Notes Some apparent discrepancies will appear in the spell ing of Celtic words on account of the difference between the correct and scholastic, and the common or Anglicized form. I have considered it merely finical to attempt to change to the less known form such familiar words as colleen, cruiskeen, etc., in places where they are parts of the dialect, although I have usually followed the scho lastic authority elsewhere.

Excerpt from Essays in Criticism: The Study of Poetry; John Keats, Wordsworth IF the Apostle of Sweetness and Light be studied simply because he is the Apostle of Culture, he will be most help ful to the young people of this practical age, - this age in which the 'tendency is toward commercialism.' But add to this the strong points of the author's style, the delicacy of touch, the clear incisive analysis, the energy of purpose - with the gentle man behind it all, - the constant endeavor to stimulate to something higher and nobler, and the value of such study cannot be estimated.

Excerpt from Essays on Poetry and Poets These Essays, with all their faults, were carefully composed, but, since a few of them were written some time ago, all have been scrupulously revised, the information involved, moreover, being brought, as far as possible, up to date: those that are republished have also been occasionally altered, in accordance with modified conviction on the part of the writer; others are recent, and published now for the first time. All deal with modern, romantic poetry. The keynote of more than one of them is to be found in my opening essay on the "Poetic Interpretation of Nature," for a very marked characteristic of the best poetry of our century is the worship, and faithful, though idealized, delineation of external nature. In the last paper I print an experience of English travel, because, though hardly indeed covered by the book's designation, it forms a kind of return to this "dominant theme," being an attempt of my own at some measure of that descriptive interpretation, the general principles of which I have discussed in my first paper; this is a record of the experience on which was partly founded my poem "Thalatta," in "Songs of the Heights and Deeps."
