This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work.

We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself.

<p class="gallery_img_description" style="display: none;">
Mark Twain once famously said "there was but one solitary thing about the past worth remembering, and that was the fact that it is past and can't be restored." Well, over recent years, The British Library, working with Microsoft has embarked on an ambitious programme to digitise its collection of 19th century books.
There are now 65,000 titles available (that's an incredible 25 million pages) of material ranging from works by famous names such as Dickens, Trollope and Hardy as well as many forgotten literary gems , all of which can now be printed on demand and purchased right here on Amazon.
Further information on The British Library and its digitisation programme can be found on The British Library website.

Excerpt from The Female Poets of America
Several persons are mentioned in this volume whose lives have been no holydays of leisure: those, indeed, who have not in some way been active in practical duties, are exceptions to the common rule. One was a slave one a domestic servant - one a factory girl: and there are many in the list who had no other time to give to the pursuits of literature but such as was stolen from a frugal and industrious housewifery, from the exhausting cares of teaching, or the fitful repose of sickness. These illustrations of the truth, that the muse is no respecter of conditions, are especially interesting In a country where, though equality is an axiom, it is not a reality, and where prejudice reverses in the application all that theory has affirmed in words. The pro priety of bringing before the world compositions produced amid humble and laborious occupations, has been vindicated by Bishop Potter, with so much force and elegance, in his introduction to the Poems of Maria James, that I regret that the limits of this preface forbid my copying what I should wish every reader of this book to be acquainted with.

<p class="gallery_img_description" style="display: none;">
Excerpt from The Poets and Poetry of England, in the Nineteenth Century
The merits of byron and wordsworth have been amply discussed by'recent critics on both sides Of the Atlantic, and the claims of shelley begin to attract a share of the attention they deserve. If the author of Childe Harold excelled all others in the poetry of intense emotion, and the bard of Rydal in that of reflective sentiment, shelley has contributed no less to what is purely imaginative in the divine art. The graphic power of crabbe in dealing with actual and homely materials, the picturesque and romantic beauty of scott, the wildness, sublimity and feeling of coleridge, the gorgeous description and fine reflection of southey, the voluptuous imagery and happy wit of moore, the elegance and rhetorical energy Of campbell, have each in their degree influenced the popular taste; while the classical imagery of keats, the brilliance and tenderness of proctor, the cheerfulness and humanity of hunt, and the philosophic repose of milnes, interest the warm sympathies of different readers.
A taste for poetry is visibly increasing among us, especially for that poetry which celebrates the triumphs of humanity, the sacred claims of freedom, the holy associations of love, and all the scenes and sentiments which redeem life and make hallowed ground of the earth. There is much in the following pages fitted to promote and refine such a taste, and that they may essentially contribute to so desirable a result is the earnest hope of the editor.

Rufus Wilmot Griswold was born in Benson, Rutland County, Vermont, United States on February 15, 1815, one of the younger of the fourteen children of Rufus Griswold, a needy farmer and tanner from Connecticut, the United States by his wife, Deborah Wass, a native of Martha’s Vineyard.

Career
</h2>
<p class="article__text">At the age of fifteen, in a newspaper office at Albany, New York, Rufus Wilmot Griswold began a variegated, bustling career, in the course of which he was connected with almost twenty newspapers and periodicals and compiled, edited, or wrote upwards of forty volumes, most of them ephemeral. <br/><br/>Several passages in his life are obscure; some books credited to him have never been seen by a reliable bibliographer; and his character is still in dispute. For several years subsequent to his Albany sojourn he was an itinerant printer and perhaps a sailor. <br/><br/>Although he revered Jonathan Edwards, detested Jefferson and Thomas Paine, and at one time edited an Anti-Catholic organ, there was little of the minister in his disposition. <br/><br/>No record has been found of his occupying a regular charge, and the only confessed witness to his preaching is Edwin Percy Whipple, who testified, “In theology he is all bone and muscle. His sermons are his finest compositions, and he delivers them from the pulpit with taste and eloquence”. <br/><br/>He was generally addressed as a clergyman, however, and was commonly referred to as Doctor Griswold. <br/><br/>From February 1838 to May 1839 he edited the Vergennes Vermonter. <br/><br/>Allegiance to Henry Clay compelled him to subordinate his Abolition sentiments, but he fought tenaciously against imprisonment for debt and capital punishment.<br/><br/>For most of the next eighteen months he was in New York working for Park Benjamin and Horace Greeley. With William Leggett, Rufus Dawes, and several others he established a library in the New York City Prison. <br/><br/>In November 1840 he went to Philadelphia to write first for the Daily Standard and later for the Gazette. He became seriously ill late in 1841 and, while recuperating, applied unsuccessfully for a chaplaincy in the Navy.<br/><br/>About this time he made the acquaintance of Edgar Allan Poe. The year 1842 was the turning point of his career; from then almost until his death in 1857 he was conspicuous and influential. <br/><br/>He worked Hard and with success to increase public respect for American authors; his contemporaries regarded him as the foremost advocate of “Americanism” in literature. <br/><br/>In April appeared his anthology, The Poets and Poetry of America (numerous later editions). From May 1842 until October 1843 he was assistant editor of Graham’s Magazine, in succession to Poe, at a yearly salary of $1, 000.<br/><br/>Of his various publications the most important in these years were: The Songs of Béranger in English (1844); The Poetical Works of IV. M. Praed (1844; 1852), the first collected edition of Praed ; The Poets and Poetry of England in the Nineteenth Century (1844; several later editions), memorable for some strange critical pronouncements; The Prose Works of John Milton, the first American edition of Milton’s prose; The Prose Writers of America (1847; several later editions); and The Female Poets of America (1848; several later editions). <br/><br/>These and his abundant other work brought him a good if somewhat uncertain income, enabling him to collect an excellent library and to entertain hospitably. He was courted by a horde of minor writers with their eyes on critical favors still to come; another group, nourishing no such hope, constituted a formidable body of enemies. <br/><br/>He took pleasure in advancing the reputation of his protégés, among whom were Maria Brooks, Alice and Phoebe Cary, Charles Fenno Hoffman, Charles Godfrey Leland, Richard Henry Stoddard, and Bayard Taylor.<br/><br/>During these years Griswold had several encounters with Poe and treated him, on the whole, with kindness and forbearance. When news of Poe’s death reached New York he wrote for the Daily Tribune (October 9, 1849) a long and decidedly unconventional obituary signed “Ludwig. ”<br/><br/>Harsh, realistic, and candid, not malevolent, but extenuating nothing, it astonished and incensed the poet’s friends, whose indignation rose when it was learned that Poe had named Griswold as his literary executor. <br/><br/>Stung by accusations of treachery, bent on justifying the “Ludwig” article at all costs, Griswold sacrificed judgment and honesty to pride. Collecting all the current scandal about Poe, he incorporated the whole mass, together with a good many errors, into his inexcusable memoir.<br/><br/>In his published version of two of Poe’s letters he inserted passages fulsomely complimentary to himself. <br/><br/>His editorial work on Poe’s writings was conscientious though not entirely satisfactory, and it is fairly clear that his rage was directed less against Poe, who fascinated him and whose genius he recognized, than against Poe’s over-zealous defenders. His last years were made miserable by disease, scandal, and domestic trouble.<br/><br/>In 1850-52 he edited the International Monthly Magazine.<br/><br/>In 1854, during a severe recurrence of his old malady, tuberculosis, he wrote his most substantial work, The Republican Court, or American Society in the Days of Washington (1855; with author’s last additions and corrections, 1864). <br/><br/>In 1855 he secured the release from Moyamensing Penitentiary of George G. Foster, a friend of his Albany days, who had been convicted of forgery. In 1856 a coalition of his enemies attempted to get his divorce set aside, thereby creating an unsavory newspaper scandal. <br/><br/>Griswold, who now realized that he was dying, defended himself successfully and published a pitiful Statement (Philadelphia, 1856) of his relations with Miss Myers and the other contestants. To the New York Herald of February 13, 1856, he contributed a review (also published separately) of the Duyckincks’ Cyclopaedia of American Literature, repaying in full an old score. <br/><br/>It is still, perhaps, the most destructive book-review written by an American.<br/><br/>He died, lonely and prematurely aged, at his home in New York and was buried in Greenwood Cemetery, his two most extensive projects, a life of Washington and a biographical dictionary, remaining unfinished.</p>

data-description = "Excerpt from The Female Poets of America Several persons are mentioned in this volume whose lives have been no holydays of leisure: those, indeed, who have not in some way been active in practical duties, are exceptions to the common rule. One was a slave one a domestic servant - one a factory girl: and there are many in the list who had no other time to give to the pursuits of literature but such as was stolen from a frugal and industrious housewifery, from the exhausting cares of teaching, or the fitful repose of sickness. These illustrations of the truth, that the muse is no respecter of conditions, are especially interesting In a country where, though equality is an axiom, it is not a reality, and where prejudice reverses in the application all that theory has affirmed in words. The pro priety of bringing before the world compositions produced amid humble and laborious occupations, has been vindicated by Bishop Potter, with so much force and elegance, in his introduction to the Poems of Maria James, that I regret that the limits of this preface forbid my copying what I should wish every reader of this book to be acquainted with.

data-description = "This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher."

data-description = "Excerpt from The Poets and Poetry of England, in the Nineteenth Century The merits of byron and wordsworth have been amply discussed by'recent critics on both sides Of the Atlantic, and the claims of shelley begin to attract a share of the attention they deserve. If the author of Childe Harold excelled all others in the poetry of intense emotion, and the bard of Rydal in that of reflective sentiment, shelley has contributed no less to what is purely imaginative in the divine art. The graphic power of crabbe in dealing with actual and homely materials, the picturesque and romantic beauty of scott, the wildness, sublimity and feeling of coleridge, the gorgeous description and fine reflection of southey, the voluptuous imagery and happy wit of moore, the elegance and rhetorical energy Of campbell, have each in their degree influenced the popular taste; while the classical imagery of keats, the brilliance and tenderness of proctor, the cheerfulness and humanity of hunt, and the philosophic repose of milnes, interest the warm sympathies of different readers. A taste for poetry is visibly increasing among us, especially for that poetry which celebrates the triumphs of humanity, the sacred claims of freedom, the holy associations of love, and all the scenes and sentiments which redeem life and make hallowed ground of the earth. There is much in the following pages fitted to promote and refine such a taste, and that they may essentially contribute to so desirable a result is the earnest hope of the editor. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.

Connections
</h2>
<p class="article__text">In New York, in March 1837, Rufus Wilmot Griswold married a Caroline Searles and for a few months made his headquarters with her parents.<br/><br/>In November 1842 his wife died in New York, leaving him with two daughters.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, on August 20, 1845, in New York, he was married reluctantly, almost secretly, to Charlotte Myers, a well-to-do Jewess of Charleston, South Carolina. The whole affair is wrapped in darkness, but Griswold appears to have been the victim of a hideous fraud, and the marriage was never consummated. <br/><br/>In 1852 he obtained a divorce in Philadelphia on the ground of desertion, and the next year he married Harriet Stanley McCrillis of Bangor, Maine, by whom he had one son, William McCrillis Griswold.</p>
