“A Library of Poetry and Song” is a comprehensive anthology that brings together an impressive range of poetry from celebrated English-speaking poets. Compiled with an intention of creating an extensive and versatile resource for 19th-century poetry lovers, the book served as a repository for reference, a reflection of the evolution of poetic literature, and a companion for readers in various moods.
The collection features over fifteen hundred selections from more than four hundred poets, including notable figures such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Alfred Tennyson, John Greenleaf Whittier, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Edgar Allan Poe, Harriet Beecher Stowe, John Quincy Adams, and Sir Walter Scott, among others. The anthology encompasses both well-known masterpieces and less famous poems of merit, with an aim to resonate with a broad array of human emotions and experiences.
Moreover, this volume holds a distinct stamp of approval from renowned American poet, William Cullen Bryant, who was instrumental in shaping the collection. His discerning literary critique contributed to the inclusion and exclusion of pieces, thereby refining the overall quality of the anthology. Despite not being responsible for the classification and arrangement of the poems, his influence and endorsement add a significant layer of authority to the collection.
