100 Best Poems of the Nineteenth Century: An Annotated Edition (Cahokia Studies in Art & Literature Book 2)

100 Best Poems of the Nineteenth Century: An Annotated Edition (Cahokia Studies in Art & Literature Book 2)

This comprehensive anthology collects the best poems from the Nineteenth Century. Poems include the greatest poetry of William Blake, John Keats, Edgar Alan Poe, Emily Dickinson, Oscar Wilde, and many others. The selection and the commentary on each poem lead the reader to an intuitive grasp of the progression of ideas in the culture and history of the century. While most of the poems are from English and American authors, the most important works of French and German poets are included in nineteenth century translations. The Nineteenth Century in this case means the period 1789-1914 which shows the work done between two cultural turning points rather than the arbitrary dates 1801-1900.
The 100 Best poems of the Nineteenth Century, including the most famous poetry: Goethe’s The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, Keats’ Ode to a Nightingale and Ode on a Grecian Urn, Shelley’s Ozymandias, Schiller’s Ode to Joy, Poe’s The Raven, and Frost’s The Pasture, but also little known gems such as Novalis’ Hymns to the Night, Keats’ Lamia, and Dickinson’s Come Slowly—Eden! The poems include all of the most memorable lines of the Nineteenth Century:
Tyger Tyger, burning bright, in the forests of the night
And did those feet in ancient time walk upon Englands mountains green
In Xanadu did Kubla Khan a stately pleasure-dome decree
A thing of beauty is a joy forever
I met a traveler from an antique land
Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all ye know on earth, and all ye need to know
Philosophy will … unweave a rainbow
Here lies one whose name was writ in water
It was night in the lonesome October
Because I could not stop for Death he kindly stopped for me
O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done
Yet each man kills the thing he loves
