Beginning with Emily Dickinson and the poets after the Civil War, Untermeyer gathers the American verse of half a century, from Bret Harte and Joaquin Miller to Robert Frost’s ‘The Death of the Hired Man’. Each poet comes with a short biographical and critical note, and a preface traces the new poetry’s rise.
