One of the volumes from the Poetry and Life series. From the Preface: A glance through the pages of this little book will suffice to disclose the general plan of the series of which it forms a part. Only a few words of explanation, therefore, will be necessary...In this, biography and production will be considered together and in intimate association. In other words, an endeavor will be made to interest the reader in the lives and personalities of the poets dealt with, and at the same time to use biography as an introduction and key to their writings.
