Excerpt from Popular Poets of the Period: Being a Volume Containing Biographical Critical Sketches

My chief aim in the pages of the present volume has been to lay before the public, in as concise a form as possible, biographical and critical sketches of popular and distinguished poets of our own time and country, together with interesting specimens of their works, in order that, haply, those readers who have known hitherto but little of the gifts of present-day poets, may be induced to seek a larger acquaintance with their works. It is believed that the field here entered has not previously been taken by any existing anthology, and although it is not pretended that the list of poets who may be termed popular is yet completed, it is suggested that the work, whilst containing reliable informa tion of the lives of the poets included, consists also of such a representative collection of Modern Poetry as has never before appeared within the covers of one volume.
