The following twelve volumes deal, in considerable detail, with many of
the poets, groups and tendencies considered in this collection. A few
treat principally of the period between 1860 and 1890; the majority,
however, reflect the shifting course of contemporary poetry. Most of the
dozen contain liberal quotations, references, illustrative poems and
suggestions for supplementary reading.
