Dive into the rich tapestry of English and American poetry with A Little Treasury of Favorite Poems, originally compiled in 1894 as Favorite Poems and lovingly republished by Avenel Books. This anthology captures the essence of classic and timeless verse, carefully selected to showcase the beauty and diversity of poetic expression. From the haunting verses of Edgar Allan Poe to the romantic poetry of Lord Byron, this collection spans centuries and genres, offering readers a delightful journey through the literary landscapes of both sides of the Atlantic. Whether you seek profound reflections on life, love, and nature or simply wish to savor the artistry of poetic language, this treasury is a timeless companion for poetry lovers of all ages.
Some of the poems are old friends—Poe's "The Raven," Tennyson's "Break, Break, Break," and Longfellow's "The Wreck of the Hesperus." These and other familiar poems have stood the test of time and bring new pleasure with each reading. Here, too, are unfamiliar works, selections by little-known poets or neglected pieces of the masters, providing the reader with the joy of discovery, the introduction to a new friend with whom communication is instant and lasting.
