An American Anthology 1787-1900: Selections Illustrating The Editor's Critical Review Of American Poetry In The Nineteenth Century (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781432527211)

An American Anthology 1787-1900 is a comprehensive selection of American poetry from the late 18th century to the turn of the 20th century. The book is edited by Edmund Clarence Stedman, who was a prominent literary figure in the late 19th century. Stedman's critical review of American poetry in the 19th century is reflected in the selections he has made for this anthology. The book includes works by well-known poets such as Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, Edgar Allan Poe, and Ralph Waldo Emerson, as well as lesser-known poets who made significant contributions to American literature. The anthology is organized chronologically, allowing readers to trace the development of American poetry over time. In addition to the poems themselves, the book includes Stedman's introductions to each poet and his critical analysis of their work. An American Anthology 1787-1900 is an important resource for anyone interested in the history of American poetry and its evolution over the course of the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
