_SOME PRESS OPINIONS._
VOLUME I. Prometheus the Firegiver—Eros and Psyche—The
Growth of Love—Notes. Small Post 8vo, 6_s._
_TIMES._—‘For sheer poetical beauty there have been few things done in
our generation more perfect.’
_GUARDIAN._—‘The new edition is as dainty a one as any poet could
desire for his work, and it will no doubt win for Mr. Bridges a
considerable portion of the many new readers whom he deserves.’
_WORLD._—‘Beautiful and scholarly.... Mr. Bridges has firmly
established himself in the favour of students of poetry, and the
present edition should still further extend the appreciation of a
writer whose work is always poetic and sincere.’
VOLUME II. Shorter Poems—New Poems—Notes.
Small Post 8vo, 6_s._
_DAILY CHRONICLE._—‘Mr. Bridges is an artist whose work cannot fail to
give pleasure to all who care for artistry in English verse.... We find
here in full measure his sane and manly spirit, his love of life, of
beauty and of England, his refinement of thought and of form, his cool
and fresh lyric quality.’
_SCOTSMAN._—‘This new edition cannot but do good to English poetry all
the world over, if it makes Mr. Bridges and his work better known than
they are.’
VOLUME III. The First Part of Nero—Achilles in Scyros—Notes.
Small Post 8vo, 6_s._
_MONTHLY REVIEW._—‘Of these two fine plays the first is perhaps the
more interesting, the second the more beautiful. The reader will find
in it (Nero) the keen pleasure of an imperial game of chess.’
_MANCHESTER GUARDIAN._—‘The verse has a likeness to that of the strong
and level Massinger, but is full of little deliberate experiments....
It is poetry fresh and exultant, breaking upwards through
“scholarship”.’
VOLUME IV. Palicio—The Return of Ulysses—Notes.
Small Post 8vo, 6_s._
_QUEEN._—‘Mr. Bridges, as befits a Fellow of Corpus, has to an intense
degree the classical spirit. “The Return of Ulysses” breathes Greece
in every line, and is instinct with the spirit of the Homeric Age from
beginning to end. Considered from the point of view of a classical poem
alone, it is both powerful and scholarly.... The many admirers of Mr.
Bridges’s work will rejoice in this complete and well edited collection
of his poems.’
_GLOBE._—‘The work is excellent in characterization, and can be perused
with profit as well as pleasure.’
