Songs of Three Centuries (Classic Reprint)Fb&c Limited, 8. feb. 2018 - 452 strani Excerpt from Songs of Three Centuries It is possible that it may be thought an undue prominence has been given to the poetry of the period beginning with Cowper and reaching down to Tennyson and his living contemporaries. But it must be considered that the last century has been prolific in song; and, if Shakespeare and Milton still keep their unapproachable position, souls like stars that dwell apart, there can be little doubt that the critical essayist of the twentieth century will make a large advance upon the present estimate, not only of Cowper and Burns, but of Wordsworth, Coleridge, Shelley, Keats, Browning, Ten nyson, and Emerson.
