Excerpt from The Epic, an Essay, Vol. 5

Mr. Macneile Dixon's learned and vigorous Englixb Epic and Heroic Poetry and especially the assistance of Mr. John Clark's Hiftory of Epic Poetry. Mr. Clark's book is so thorough and so adequate that my own would certainly have been superfluous, were it not that I have taken a particular point of view which his method seems to rule out - a point of view which seemed well worth taking. This is my excuse, too, for considering only the most con spicuous instances of epic poetry. They have been discussed often enough; but not often, so far as I know, primarily as stages of one con tinuous artistic development.
